The MAGA AI imposter

Fast company has a fascinating take on Jessica Foster (note: she’s not real, but an AI model), a character who has duped more than 1 million followers on Instagram, is a U.S. army soldier and a big Trump supporter. It turns out that she’s a “computer-generated mirage” created to direct conservative men to an OnlyFans page to buy her foot fetish pictures. Fast Company notes that her profile went live on Instagram only four months ago. Jessica is seen “posing in Army bunks and frolicking with female soldiers. She has also posed in forged photos with the likes of President Trump and Vladimir Putin. Writer Jesus Diaz notes that “she marks the last national election as the end of reality-anchored campaign news cycles, if such a thing ever existed.” It’s definitely worth a read.
