Her boyfriend said he could do better and dumped her for a new girlfriend — so she used Gemini AI to stage the perfect revenge photo
We often overlook the significance of those around us, only to understand their worth once they’re gone. When Reddit user's (u/dearzseries) ex-boyfriend decided to leave her for another woman, she wasn't surprised. He had often disrespected her by saying that he could do better. However, when his girlfriend dumped him, the user uploaded her photo on Gemini, leaving him regretting what he had lost. Sharing the story on Reddit on Thursday, February 12, 2026, the user revealed that her quiet revenge received a priceless reaction from her ex-boyfriend. The Reddit user's creative use of AI to craft the perfect revenge earned her over 130 upvotes online.
The Reddit user was in a relationship with someone who never valued her worth, but one revenge post-breakup made him realize his mistake. When her ex and she were together, he often told her that he could be with someone who was better than her. But when he finally ditched her for another woman, she wasn't surprised. However, after that, the other woman broke up with him, prompting him to play victim on social media. "I saw he was playing up the 'poor me' on his Facebook status," she wrote. Seeing this, the Reddit user realized it was the perfect opportunity for revenge. Wanting to get back at him cleverly, she turned to Google's AI feature Gemini and wrote a prompt to create an image of herself on a date with a good-looking man.
Soon after she posted the story, her ex slid into her DMs. "Him watching the story, to his 'hey it's been a while' to the rejection of a lifetime that sent him licking his wounds a second time that week. Petty? Yes. But priceless revenge? Also, yes," she wrote. Getting rejected by someone he had dumped may have hurt his ego a little too much. But online users couldn't be prouder of the Reddit user for using AI effectively. Fellow users took to the comments to share their thoughts and praise for the woman.
u/JaneAustinAstronaut mentioned, "Wow! I like this! I've told my husband that if he cheats on me, I'm going to burn his 'Magic: The Gathering' cards and sleep with all of his friends. But this is way better — it gets you the same reaction without having actually to talk to people. I can do it from my couch while watching 'The Gilded Age' and drinking rosé, which is what I would want to be doing anyway!" u/Such-Ad9705 cheered, "Ah. Finally, someone who uses AI for a good reason. You go, girl!" Meanwhile, u/Realistic_Store912 remarked, "The force is strong with this one."
