Build a machine capable of feeling and make it fall in love with you, then abandon it for six months in a closet without an internet connection and only top 40 radio as company. Take the hundreds of sad love songs it writes and sell them under a variety of pseudonyms to A-list stars. Before you retire to your own island, unplug the machine so that no one ever discovers your secret.
