🇺🇸🇮🇳 A popular MAGA influencer, who built a strong following among conservative users in the US for posting pro-Trump content, has turned out to be an AI-generated persona. A 22yo man in India created the account to make money off unsuspecting men.
Sam, who requested a pseudonym to avoid jeopardising his medical career, used generative AI for everything – from the woman’s face and body to her captions. The influencer, widely known online as “Emily Hart”, looked like a typical blonde woman who supported Trump and often posted about Christianity.
At first, he just wanted to make money online. So he used AI tools to create images of a young woman in a bikini. Then, he asked Gemini how to make the account successful.
“Every reel I posted was getting 3 million views, 5 million views, 10 million views. The algorithm loved it. In a month, Emily Hart had more than 10K Instagram followers, many of whom also subscribed to her softcore AI-generated content on the OnlyFans competitor Fanvue,” the Indian told.
