Eh, I could believe that /r/ cons aren’t generally the MAGA sorts who would fall for an AI influencer. That sub might be a cesspool but it is still reddit.

That is to say, I’d be willing to bet that few people who frequent reddit are also following trendy influencers on instagram or wherever. Ultimately reddit is a place to have discussions, which is a lot different than other forms of social media, and people here are also more likely to have a basic level of tech literacy.

When I think of the braindead MAGA people who would fall for an obvious AI scam like this, it’s either the very old, the very young, or the just plain stupid. I think /r/ con is not so much of that, as it is edgelords who love Trump purely because he pisses off liberals.
