"The Indian man, who asked Wired not to publish his real name in an effort to avoid jeopardizing his medical career and immigration status, told the magazine that he decided to invent blonde, female MAGA influencer Emily Hart after Google's Gemini AI assistant told him that targeting conservatives would be a cheat code to success."
"Every day I'd write something pro-Christian, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-woke, and anti-immigration, the man boasted. Every Reel I posted was getting 3 million views, 5 million views, 10 million views. The algorithm loved it."
"I was spending maybe 30 to 50 minutes of my day, and I was making good money for a medical student, he told Wired. In India, even in professional jobs, you can't make this amount of money."
"After the fake influencer became a highly profitable endeavor for her creator, he decided to make another fake account targeting liberals on social media. This effort was short-lived, however, as the Indian national said Democrats were less dumb and susceptible to AI slop."
An Indian man created a fake blonde MAGA influencer named Emily Hart, using AI-generated images to attract conservative followers. He amassed over 10,000 Instagram followers in a month by posting pro-Christian and anti-woke content. His strategy was successful, generating significant income through subscriptions and merchandise sales, allowing him to fund his medical school education. He later attempted to create a similar account targeting liberals but found them less susceptible to his tactics, deeming them more aware of AI-generated content.
