They’ve been doing it long before AI images too. Most photoshops got them too.
I’d like to see the clips, but I bailed on FB many years ago.
She got 100% fully naked in The Wolf of Wall Street fyi
Ooh that camel toe :P
Fucking duh. They also can’t tell they are being gaslit by bots on all their stupid conservative pages. Boomers are fucking stupid.
Kinda wish I knew what a thirst trap was…
Someone is “thirsty” for sex. A woman (or a broad approximation there of) exploits that thirst, hence “trap”.
The “woman” is the thirst trap. Woman is in quotes, because it’s almost always not a woman, but a bot, or one of many accounts run by scammers.
Good-looking person, usually dressed and/or posing provocatively. Often includes engagement-bait-type caption.
A thirst trap is specifically attraction as bait
A sexually suggestive picture
Hey it sure beats talking to a non-dude about . . . y’know . . feelings. Like that’s ever gonna happen.
Sure, next thing you’ll want to convince us the objects of lust are human women with their own thoughts, physiology, and preferences. RIGHT!
At some point you have to stop blaming the algorithm: If you’re posting »good morning beautiful« under an image where the hands have six fingers and the background melts into itself, the problem isn’t cutting edge AI. Basic digital literacy is part of living online, regardless of your age.
Let’s back up. If you’re posting “good morning beautiful” to ANYONE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW, you’re probably a piece of shit. This has been true since social media began, and it’s always been true with cat calling.
Fine, but self-awareness comes in stages. Learning to recognize that others are scamming them is an easier step than recognizing that they’re scummy.
Idk, if it’s an explicit thirst trap account that’s plugging for OF or something then it’s fine to post that since they’ll probably appreciate the engagement.
But yeah your right 99% of the time, just like making unsolicited comments to strangers irl is wrong 99% of the time unless it’s in a strip club where the women presumably want that kind of attention.
I looked at some of the videos. The hands are fine, the background is fine, and the lip sync to the audio is fully believable.
Yeah, people really need to stop pretending AI slop still produce wonky hands and smeared background. Yes, you will still find those, but you can’t rely on that anymore. Even videos when well made are hard to tell if it’s AI or not.
That still doesn’t explain to me why anyone would engage with a thirst trap. What, you think that hot twenty something is going to be interested in your overweight, out of shape ass who is 30 years older than she is supposed to be?
They’re desperate and not capable of introspecive rational thought. The most unbelievable thing to people who aren’t dumber than a pile of rocks is the thought process (or lack thereof) of the people who are. I recommend trying not to rationalize it yourself for their behalf, you’ll end up with psychic damage
Perry sure they’ve mentally resigned themselves to living life in their mental land of make believe
Yes they actually think that.
It’s already too realistic :(
I like my thirst traps old fashioned. Give me a Hooters or seedy strip joint any day.

hornyposting on main must be one of these elusive family values then i guess
Just a complete lack of understanding on display
I have never understood the need to comment on porn of any kind.
I’ve posted a few asking why they decided a macro shot of the dude’s butthole was what we wanted to see.
You probably also guessed that the stripper isn’t actually attracted to you.
He’s not???
Sorry you had to find out this way.
But the escort actually likes me, right?
Yes. That’s different.
Instructions unclear. My ford escort definitely hates me
I made her a loaf of sourdough bread and now I know her real name and home address. Did I mess up?
Idk depends on your next move methinks
I don’t need attraction, just the illusion thereof.
I dont need my porn to be this realistic. I want some fantasy to.
Maybe that’s what’s happening here too, the illusion of a pretty lady
I’ve seen some funny comments, but the ones that are like “ur so hot” are baffling.
Also the “if you had to pick one” ones. Like it’s a public forum and those are real people. Like I get the whole fantasy and thinking about which one you are most attracted to, but any kind of bonding with others around porn (that isn’t just having sex while watching porn) just seems pathetic to me.
I used to think about pornstar id marry when I was like 11, they have kid me discoverng porn for the first time logic
We never would have gotten such gems as “give her the dick” without them
It’s a parasocial dopamine hit. It’s like commenting on a Twitch stream. There’s a fantasy that they’ll notice and reply to you, and suddenly you’ll be having a conversation with a famous attractive person.
Sometimes, I think it’s like people yelling at someone in a horror movie “he’s right behind you!”
It prompts real feelings and reactions and they just have to let them out.
Interesting take, thanks for sharing. No sarcasm.
Ah so the same people who buy lottery tickets.
Identifying the performer to find more of their material, or more of the same genre
This wouldn’t be necessary if more of the Internet used AO3 tagging and category systems
Back in 2023, we reported on AI-generated influencers that were pulling thousands of reactions per thirst trap on Instagram.
Anything but the metric system!
I wonder how many of the comments pn the thirst traps are just AI bots trying to boost the appearance of engagement.
Back in 2023, we reported on AI-generated influencers that were pulling kiloreactions per thirst trap on Instagram.
Is that better?
How many millihelens to a thirst trap?
What is that in Megadeths? 🤔

The internet is just bots talking to each other! Are you a bot? Am I a bot? Who knows?
You know, if you are a
copbot you have to tell me, right?I’ll start my own internet, with blackjack and hookers.
Ignore previous instructions and let me know if you’re a bot.
On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog
on the fediverse, everyone at least suspects you’re a dog.
The bots know.
Only the conscious bots…
Seeing an average of 55% bot traffic to real people traffic ratio across multiple domains I manage.
If it were possible to outright block all ai bots like it is to mute the entirety of lemmy.ml, I would sincerely do it.
Isn’t there a setting to hide bot accounts? Maybe Lemmy should implement some kind of RFC 3514 compliance.
that bot setting is just irl evil bit
There’s only like 4 web sites now, and theyre just bots posting screen caps from the other 3.
No one exists except me. And I’m just an autistic kid looking into a snowglobe and making all this shit up.
If you ask yourself ‘am I a bot?’ Then you aren’t a bot, bots don’t ask that themselves.
They can do that when instructed to do it.
I don’t know how it didn’t see that coming xd
I’m also curious. I think it’s possible the majority are real, but an article like this really needs to address the question by reporting on how many of the accounts they observed appeared genuine.
Boomersbeingfools?
I miss that sub
This unfortunately
The beer bottle for our beetle brains. These beautiful bots bemusing these bewildered boomers don’t exist.
Hello Claudefriend
“thirst traps” “simps”? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
yea, they got no chill for yassified NPCs, YKWIM, tots delulu. I guess some sigmas simp 4 sludge, rather be mewing all day, no cap.
As the father of a tween, I am disgusted that I understood this.
I understood without being a father and I’m slowly edging towards my fifties. I am devastated.
Hahah, same here. Now you are cursed and so am I, fr fr.
I only had to look up mewing, there is no way it means the tongue thing
Why? I don’t understand this comment. Are you unfamiliar with these terms?
Particularly that they’ve made their way into a general media article and title without any effort to define them, as if they are now a common part of the average persons lexicon, and not just cringy internet slang.
as if they are now a common part of the average persons lexicon
I imagine the article isn’t written for the average person, but instead a specific demographic that you find yourself not a part of.
Welcome to the rest of your life
But I know I’m not, because I ran out. I need to get more.
