Bue hurried through the dark with a roller bag to catch a train to her apartment. He tripped near a Rutgers University parking lot, suffering head and neck injuries. He died three days later, on March 28.
Click-bait crazy headline.

I guess you can say that but you can also make the argument that he was only traveling in the dark, in a rush because he was being invited over by this not pretending to be a real person. Elderly person yearning for companionship may get over excited at an opportunity like this.
I’m going to hazard a guess that this was more because US infrastructure is unsafe for people with mobility issues. Because pedestrians are second-class citizens compared to motorists.
People should be safe walking around where they live. If they aren’t, something is wrong. And that something is not the desire to walk places, even if it was caused by a weird scambot.
Yeah, the headline does make it sound like someone used it to lure him out and murder him.
Cashing in on anti-AI hysteria for clicks.
Let's not talk about accusing Meta of murder for a minute, but can we at least agree that a "flirty chatbot modeled on Kendall Jenner" that insists you should meet in real life and gives you a real address does not sound like a great idea?
Ok so given the guy tripped and fell and died(stupid headline),
There still lies the risk of the lure which has much potential to be dangerous for the vulnerable getting lured out like this and exposed nonetheless
Is that the daughter laughing in the thumbnail?
Didn't he slip and fall on his way to the train or something?
Happens to the best of us
