Aging Facebook users are drooling over AI-generated thirst traps, clearly with no idea that they aren't real.

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

      I’d like to believe that most of the dumb stuff you see posted online is by bots trying to draw suckers to their echo chambers.

      Unfortunately, I’ve met too many of the idiots in real life, they’re definitely not all bots.

        Yes, but the line of thinking originates there, and they were programmed to be more hateful and stupid than they ever would have been in a pre-zuck era.

          Programming people to be hateful and stupid goes waaaaaay back before Zuck and Xitter. The Spanish-American War is a pretty solid example, but there are so many others.

            Yeah but they couldn’t reach people on a 24/7 basis back then. It is different now because of technology.

      Plenty of the young generation are dumb as fuck as well. Trump didn’t win just by getting the boomer vote.

      Plenty of morons out there from all walks of life.

        Good-looking person, usually dressed and/or posing provocatively. Often includes engagement-bait-type caption.

        Someone is “thirsty” for sex. A woman (or a broad approximation there of) exploits that thirst, hence “trap”.

        The “woman” is the thirst trap. Woman is in quotes, because it’s almost always not a woman, but a bot, or one of many accounts run by scammers.
