Attract guys by their hormones. At scale. The internet isn't clogged yet with AI faking but will be. It's not a "risk", it's basically a certainty.

Have you not seen Instagram lately? It's overwhelmingly clogged by AI content, much of it masquerading as real people.

I have not. Maybe I'll get on it someday.

There’s no point, the brief period where Instagram was interesting and useful is long gone, now it’s just a mindless attention suck.

You can't even use it now as a social network, it pushes so many ads and suggested content (aka influencer ads).

It's funny; these images are so obviously fake to me, especially when she's placed next to real people. But will I be able to tell a fake in two years' time?

Agreed, but you have to think about the context:

1. Most people are going to be viewing these pictures on a smartphone.

2. The audience for this particular brand of “lurid patriotism” isn’t likely to be very AI aware/savvy.

3. Because they’re doomscrolling, they’re not really paying that much attention.

I think people already don't care. Does it matter that Marvel isn't real, or that people will never meet the famous people they talk about constantly?

I think the killer understanding the right has settled on is that politics is entertainment.

I can't tell, and certainly wouldn't notice at a glance.

I'm on a phone, not sure if that matters.

Fake or not-fake, what's the point of engaging with this vapid, objectifying material? Who's actually that stupid?

Short skirt, blonde hair, and the topper is the high heels. AI or not, someone needs to do some serious self-examination if that's their dream of a woman serving in the armed forces.

I don't think that her "serving in the armed forces" is the dream these folks are having in their head.

I'm having a hard time determining if "whacking it to AI army girl" dictates more or less self-examination in comparison to "women in armed forces should look like they have an OnlyFans account". :-)

Soon the entire internet will be custom made for the most stupid people among us.

Did you post this in the past? I swear the soon is already here with social media algorithms.

Good ol Putin's strategy, even visually similar to Natalia Poklonskaya, used to push political agendas in wartime, used to divert attention from actual problems and fill headlines, while other topics become inaccessible due to war censorship. I wouldn't be surprised if it was proposed by the same political strategists. AI is not really needed here.

I was taught, at a young age, that "sex sells," and to be wary of the car/beer/luxury good advertisements featuring scantily clad models.

I was taught that women have value beyond their sex appeal and to associate with people whose beauty is more than skin deep.

I feel as though I've known my entire life that this sort of vapid content is an obvious trap.

How stupid are conservatives? How have we failed them?
