    conservatives were swooning over an AI generated white girl in uniform. and when you check some of the profile on certain social media like youtube you can see some of them have hordes of AI generated women in thier portfolios.

    IMHO what’s interesting is that the platforms benefit from it because their metric is engagement.

    Consequently this scammer, med student or not, is generating traffic and transactions through the platforms he used. Those platforms grow and keep their user base, can sell more ads, etc. Some platforms might ban this kind of practice but barely enforce their own rules, others might precisely exist because they don’t have such rules.

    So what’s fundamental here is the dynamic, how engaging content, fake or not, controversial or not, dangerous or not, does keep on being promoted to more people because it does make sense for the platforms.

    Funny that the people making such a big deal about “real women” can never tell the difference between a real one and an AI one.

    Yay? Making money generating more bs and ragebait. Like those stories about kids having bake sales for dad’s cancer treatment.

    Female MAGA influencers tend to do well on such platforms for a few reasons. They’re a relative rarity in the MAGA movement: Unlike their Gen Z male counterparts, 18- to 29-year-old women overwhelmingly skew liberal. Young MAGA women are therefore “more attention-grabbing,” Wirtschafter says, citing the uproar over the likely AI-generated “Swifties for Trump” photo Trump posted on TruthSocial during the 2024 campaign as one example.

    The same logic, however, apparently does not apply to left-wing influencer accounts, as Sam learned when he created a short-lived liberal counterpart for Emily on Instagram: “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much.” ((AI-generated MAGA girl creator Indian male med student) Sam’s explanation for why MAGA influencer accounts work is blunt: “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it.”)

    The palpable contempt that the AI-MAGA girl creator felt for his customers…

    This is the part that people have to see the most:

    The algorithm also favors controversial views, making politically polarizing content more successful. This was Sam’s experience in running Emily’s account, which he characterized as “rage bait.” Even though liberals would flock to the page to leave irate comments, they were still clicking. “It’s a win-win situation, because you’re getting engagement anyway, and your content will go viral,” he says.

      This is the exact reason conservative streamers have risen as quickly as they have. It’s all rage-bait engagement farming.

      Pretty much every form of content these days is engagement bait. As it turns out, the only things advertisers care to clutch their pearls over in the modern age is sex and drugs. The only concern otherwise is getting as many eyes on it as possible, and nothing gets attention quite like outrage.

      Generate a hot, AI, blonde, white, large breasted woman

      Make social media accounts and generate a bunch more pics, preferably of her wearing bikinis or other revealing clothing

      Make posts pretending to be this AI girl. Make them controversial. Enough to outrage people, but not so much people can tell its a grift. This is the real secret imo

      Farm engagement from outraged people commenting so it rises in the algorithm and gets shown to right wingers. Who will see the negative comments and instinctively comment defending your views. Boosting engagement even more.

      Next make up some story about needing money for medical bills or becoming a hot lady doctor or something like that and set up a gofundme.

      Wait for braindead conservatives to throw their money at you

      If you want something a bit more tricky but longer term, set up an OnlyFans too. Otherwise I think that’s all the steps.

      It’s illegal in some cultures to do the Nazi salute.

      Is it also illegal to make an AI girl do a Nazi salute?

        It’s never illegal in a culture. Cultures don’t have laws. It is illegal in some countries, but I suspect the answer to your question may not be the same for each of those countries.

      They’re already out there.

      Lately, (AI MAGA girl creator Sam) says he’s noticed that “pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler content” has been getting especially high engagement on platforms like Reels, speculating that an AI hot girl Nazi influencer “would blow up. It would just break all the records.” (When asked about this claim, a Meta spokesperson said, “We prohibit content that glorifies, supports, or represents Nazism, and we remove it when we find it.”)

      Cyberpunk literature has a few templates to follow. “Johnny Mnemonic” refers to “Christian White and his Aryan Reggae Band”.

    Huh, I saw this article in Wired this morning. Some people in the comments were calling the article clickbait. Some said it sounded too convenient. But, I dunno, it does seem like rage bait, trolling, engagement bait, run the internet now. Hence my exit from social media a while ago. To the smøl web!
