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.
Yes, boomers, the people that have saddled the rest of us with existential crises are pieces of shit
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.
The current tell is "weird eye-lines and physics" no one looks anyone in the eyes and everything is very "dream where youre trying to run but gravity turned off for some reason"
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 :(
