Fucking duh. They also can’t tell they are being gaslit by bots on all their stupid conservative pages. Boomers are fucking stupid.

Hey it sure beats talking to a non-dude about . . . y’know . . feelings. Like that’s ever gonna happen.
Sure, next thing you’ll want to convince us the objects of lust are human women with their own thoughts, physiology, and preferences. RIGHT!
3 hoursAt 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.

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.
- HereIAm@lemmy.worldEnglish2 hours
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.

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

I like my thirst traps old fashioned. Give me a Hooters or seedy strip joint any day.
hornyposting on main must be one of these elusive family values then i guess

I’ve seen some funny comments, but the ones that are like “ur so hot” are baffling.

Also the “if you had to pick one” ones. Like it’s a public forum and those are real people. Like I get the whole fantasy and thinking about which one you are most attracted to, but any kind of bonding with others around porn (that isn’t just having sex while watching porn) just seems pathetic to me.

I used to think about pornstar id marry when I was like 11, they have kid me discoverng porn for the first time logic
You probably also guessed that the stripper isn’t actually attracted to you.

I made her a loaf of sourdough bread and now I know her real name and home address. Did I mess up?
I dont need my porn to be this realistic. I want some fantasy to.
Maybe that’s what’s happening here too, the illusion of a pretty lady
We never would have gotten such gems as “give her the dick” without them
It’s a parasocial dopamine hit. It’s like commenting on a Twitch stream. There’s a fantasy that they’ll notice and reply to you, and suddenly you’ll be having a conversation with a famous attractive person.

Sometimes, I think it’s like people yelling at someone in a horror movie “he’s right behind you!”
It prompts real feelings and reactions and they just have to let them out.

Back in 2023, we reported on AI-generated influencers that were pulling thousands of reactions per thirst trap on Instagram.
Anything but the metric system!
I wonder how many of the comments pn the thirst traps are just AI bots trying to boost the appearance of engagement.

The internet is just bots talking to each other! Are you a bot? Am I a bot? Who knows?

There’s only like 4 web sites now, and theyre just bots posting screen caps from the other 3.
Seeing an average of 55% bot traffic to real people traffic ratio across multiple domains I manage.
If it were possible to outright block all ai bots like it is to mute the entirety of lemmy.ml, I would sincerely do it.

Isn’t there a setting to hide bot accounts? Maybe Lemmy should implement some kind of RFC 3514 compliance.

If you ask yourself ‘am I a bot?’ Then you aren’t a bot, bots don’t ask that themselves.
I’m also curious. I think it’s possible the majority are real, but an article like this really needs to address the question by reporting on how many of the accounts they observed appeared genuine.

Particularly that they’ve made their way into a general media article and title without any effort to define them, as if they are now a common part of the average persons lexicon, and not just cringy internet slang.
as if they are now a common part of the average persons lexicon
I imagine the article isn’t written for the average person, but instead a specific demographic that you find yourself not a part of.
The title made me think they meant that they don’t believe AI thirst traps are real, as in “there’s no ai generated thirst traps” and not “the thing you’re thirsting over is AI generated.”
I watched the three video clips and would not have initially guessed the leotard gymnast and the mechanic are generated. The sad gymnast looks a little plastic.
What actually looks fake in the mechanic video after a couple loops is the valve notches on the pistons, which are rotated from the correct orientation, and overlapping in a way that the laws of physics would not support.
- frongt@lemmy.zipEnglish6 hours
Yeah they pass at a glance. But if you look around at all, the account has uploaded that video 14 times, and there’s no evidence of actual mechanic work. No grease or tools in the video, not even a vehicle. And the video stability doesn’t match with someone holding up a phone like that.

Image stabilization can be pretty good lately, but I must admit that I don’t spend much time watching handheld phone selfie videos.
