7-Month Engagement to Art Expert Called Off After Bryant McGill Discovers Her Secret

“I thought we had so much in common. 😭 She told me that museums felt like home to her, sobbed McGill… 😭😭”

We met online, of course—where else would I meet someone as timeless as her? She said she loved art, and so did I. “Museums feel like home,” she told me in that first message, and I was hooked. Her photos were incredible—Santorini sunsets, bustling New York streets, Machu Picchu hikes. She had a way of blending into history, yet standing out like a masterpiece.

Over the next seven months, we were inseparable—virtually and in spirit. She’d send me photos from her travels, telling me about the art and places she adored. I thought, finally, someone who gets me. We talked endlessly about beauty, meaning, and the soul of creativity.

I proposed—digitally, of course—right in front of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. Her favorite painting. She said “yes,” and I swore I saw her smile widen just a little.

But something nagged at me. Her photos? Too flawless. The lighting, the angles—perfect. So late one night, fueled by curiosity and a touch of suspicion, I ran a reverse image search.

And there it was: She was AI-generated. A living, breathing version of the Mona Lisa, carefully crafted to look like a real person.

Her mysterious beauty? Leonardo da Vinci.
Her globe-trotting adventures? Just prompts and pixels.

Heartbroken but admittedly impressed, I had to call it off. She wasn’t real, but the connection felt real enough to break my heart. I’ll always remember her words: “Museums feel like home.”

Now I know why. She’s been hanging in one for 500 years.
