“Trump should tell all the illegals that he will give them citizenship if they vote Republican and see how fast Democrats want them out of the country,” one post, reviewed by the *New York Post* reads.”
“If you want a reason to unfollow: Christ is king, abortion is murder, and all illegals must be deported,” another post reads.”
“Sam told *Wired* he launched the accounts after coming up with the idea to create and sell AI-generated images of a woman in a bikini. The student said he then used Google’s Gemini AI platform.”
“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.”
“In addition to Emily Hart’s social media accounts, Sam also sold MAGA apparel and subscriptions to a page he created for her on [Fanvue](https://www.fanvue.com/), a competitor of OnlyFans that describes itself as an “AI monetization platform.”
“Sam told *Wired* he doesn’t regret making Emily Hart, and that he doesn’t feel like he was “scamming people.”
“I was spending maybe 30 to 50 minutes of my day, and I was making good money for a medical student,” he said. “In India, even in professional jobs, you can’t make this amount of money. I haven’t seen any easier way to make money online.”

“Meet Emily Hart: AI Nurse with MAGA views
In January, Sam created “Emily Hart,” an AI-generated blonde woman who looked similar to a Hollywood actor and claimed to be a registered nurse. Using the Instagram handle emily_hart.nurse, he posted photos of her ice fishing, drinking Coors Light, and visiting rifle ranges.”
“The captions were strongly political and provocative. One post read: “If you want a reason to unfollow: Christ is king, abortion is murder, and all illegals must be deported.” Another said: “POV: You were assigned intelligent at birth, but you identify as liberal.”
“Though Sam has never lived in the US, he said he studied MAGA culture closely. “Every day I’d write something pro-Christian, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-woke, and anti-immigration,” he told WIRED.”
“Sam also tried making a liberal version of Emily, but said it did not work. “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much,” he claimed. WIRED reported that Emily Hart is one of many AI-generated right-wing female influencer accounts appearing across social media. Some accounts have reportedly gained huge audiences before being removed.”
He’s not wrong. For a group that claims to love Jesus they certainly have a habit of following false idols.

Fox News has known that for years with their never ending supply of indistinguishable blond anchors which became the MAGA vision of a conservative woman.

Is what he did even illegal? It sounds like he put her on a page that was meant for AI characters, and I assume people received whatever merch they bought. Not sure this is actually a scam or just taking advantage of a market that is very, uh, common clay of the New West. Salt of the earth.

Maybe we could get some good samaritan to set up some AI Grindr profiles for the next time the RNC comes around.

Sadly maga will just say these news stories about it being a fake account are fake news and continue to create conspiracies why she went off line. Magaception.

The MAGAs that fell for this would 100 percent fall for it again.

MAGA or Trump voters are beyond dumb people.
Who would vote for a known child rapist and convicted criminal?

MAGAts are on the conservative sub congratulating themselves for not being the ones who fell for it. The bar is pretty low for those people.

P.T. Barnum would love the MAGAs. They’d be his best customers.

At that price point he is definitely right. He can do whatever to these shit-idiots for medical school.

I mean they fell for the MAGA grift. Of course they’d fall for this too lmao.
The [original Wired article ](https://www.wired.com/story/ai-generated-maga-girls/) makes it clear his fake MAGA influencer fooled everyone. Conservatives loved the content while liberals would get heated in the comments, boosting his engagement.
His fake liberal account failed because left-wing users saw through the AI slop more quickly when it was presented as liberal, and they didn’t engage.
There’s a lesson here beyond MAGA being dumb.

“A 22-year-old medical student from northern India, identified only as Sam, told [*Wired*](https://www.wired.com/story/ai-generated-maga-girls/) he was behind a series of pro-MAGA social media accounts featuring Emily Hart, an [AI-generated](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/lauren-blake-boultier-instagram-ai-tatiana-elizabeth-b2950909.html) woman. Sam said he started posting about Emily Hart to generate some extra cash while studying, and made thousands of dollars every month.”

Imagine how easy it is for trained intelligence officers to trick them. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
If MAGA is anything, it is dumb.
I don’t know, this grift sounds like a better use of money than giving it to a billionaire. So good on maga for diversifying who they are suckers for.
I like how he also made one to focus on democrats but it didn’t work lol
I need to find a way to fleece right wing morons
A brain damaged pig has more intelligence than a MAGA moron
