A med student says he’s made thousands of dollars selling photos and videos of a young conservative woman he created using generative tools. He’s not alone.
Whether it’s plausible that a sexy blonde nurse would love Christ, ICE, and flashing her boobs for strangers is secondary to the fact that many, many people want to believe it is.
That’s such a well written burn.
I’m torn. On the one hand this is like the third useful thing I’ve read that so-called AI can do. If the tech can only be used to help folks with disabilities, help medical research and diagnoses, and defraud MAGAs, I’d stop being so mad about it. On the other hand, idiots aren’t only available in that sociopolitical group and the affluent princes of Nigeria locked in unfortunate inheritance lawsuits are surely planning a surprising comeback with this tech.
I’d question the success that “millions of followers” implies. I think the majority of people who follow such a profile on Insta will know it’s fake. Maybe not initially but they will figure this out. There is s tendency for people on the left side of the political spectrum to scratch each other’s eyes out over narcissisms of minor differences. On the opposing side, people are more likely to stick together no matter what. We are about ten years in to the MAGA movement and we are just now seeing worrying cracks in an otherwise often comically unified great leader facade. So even if a user figured out this boob flashing nurse is fake, they won’t unfollow because the ends justify the means to spread the message. And continuing to follow is not an indication of abject stupidity but another win in the column of owning the libtards for them. And even among the paying morons on the OnlyFans knock-off, there will be users who know this is fake but our Indian medical student is scratching their itch. People jack it to anime as well. People want to marry the Eiffel Tower.
