Why are right wing parties obsessed with AI posters?
And like HORRIFICALLY BAD AI posters?
They're creepy as hell.
In my country too, it's just unsettling.
I guess it's easier than a photoshoot and allows you to make any obscene shit you want...
Or just straight up lie.
I think you already answered your own question there. GenAI makes it really easy to flood a platform with loads of bullshit, and as a consequence make any point seem (at least somewhat) believable
Banking on the following comments from the right, which they use for every artist's endorsement:
They're a has been washed up.
Who even is this person?
Guess I can cross him/her off my list
I don't even know who this person is, what does it matter?
This won't move the needle at all
They should keep their options out of politics
When is the last time this person has been relevant?
Of course they would, all actors/actresses/artists are blue
I know she's popular, but are people really gonna go "I was going to vote for Trump, but Taylor said I should vote for Camala, so that's what I'll do"?
For those of us who don't celebrity worship, this isn't news. Anyone paying attention knows she leans left. Why anyone cares what a billionaire has to say is beyond me; there's no such thing as a moral billionaire. That said, if you care about democracy, vote.
Besides her being perhaps the most popular musician on the planet with a rabid fanbase that will do pretty much anything she tells them to, there's also the fact that Trump tried to ride her coattails by posting an AI slop poster claiming she was endorsing him, basically forcing her hand here.
But make no mistake. Maybe this won't affect you or me, but there are a lot of young women who are going to look at Harris much more fondly because she got Taylor's endorsement.
I don't understand why people like you are pretending you don't know who she is when she's one of the biggest celebrities in the world with a giant fan base that does whatever she asks of them.
I get it, you're too good to listen to her music or whatever. I'm not even a fan of hers and I can recognize this as significant.
When the most popular musician in the world, a woman who has a vast number of American followers, a woman who got thousands of them to register to vote this year just by saying so, endorses a candidate, it's news.
Yeah, this news is so irrelevant that it gathered a lot of buthurt people to go on posts and videos about it to say how much they don't care. Let's be honest, it's not that they don't care, they are bothered by it, they are concerned and afraid.
And right now this is the top post on lemmy. Very irrelevant, right?
I honestly didn't understand the media timing. It seems like it would be more effective to wait until the bump from the debate was over, then do the swift bump to keep the beat
