I loathe “both sides” false equivalencies, but I have to say: It’s not that Democrats are necessarily smarter or better. It’s that conservatives actually seek this shit out. They need to be the victim, but they also believe they (and other white males) are the smartest and best. So they are easy prey for scams and false conspiracy theories. They are always seeking to have their bigoted views confirmed, whereas the rest of us largely listen to science and trustworthy sources before making our minds up.
Nah, anecdotally I’ll tell you I’ve never met an intelligent conservative who wasn’t a ruthless self centered psychopath that wasted most of their intelligence probing others for weaknesses and internalizing slights and grudges.
It’s like a stochastic cult. People pretending to be like the ones who intimidate them most, pretending to like what they’re “supposed” to like.
OP linked a summary but you can click thru to the whole article:
According to a transcript reviewed by Wired, Gemini told Sam: “If you create a generic ‘hot girl,’ you’re competing with a million other models.”
Sam then gave Gemini some options for making her more appealing, and it suggested he go with the “MAGA/conservative niche,” the outlet reports. The AI platform also told Sam that the “conservative audience (especially older men in the US) often has higher disposable income and is more loyal.”
He tried with a lot of “flavors”…
It’s less a right/left thing, and more hitting a demo with high overlap to disposable income and relationship dissatisfaction or complete lack of.
Like…
What’s even the Dem version of this?
Have a generic white girl in a Biden/Kamala hat?
There’s already actual ethots that are really progressive, to pull this grift you need a demo that actual women would be very motivated to avoid. Something they’d want to get out to people they know irl even less than the pics themselves.
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.” (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.”)
I’m a total whore, the only thing women need to have is the slightest sliver of affection for me and I’m spreading my wallet like a child spreads nutella on bread
It didn’t work when he tried it on Democrats. Curious.

Studies have consistently shown the further right wing you are the dumber you are on average.
I dunno. Racists and bigots are often very dumb.
