Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass. Most people are good.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

MAGA supporters scammed by fake AI influencer who turned out to be a man

 A medical student has made thousands of dollars by selling photos of a fake MAGA woman he created using AI


If you take a look at Emily Hart's Instagram account, which has since been removed, you'd see the American blonde nurse ice fishing, drinking cans of Coors Light, and shooting at the rifle range.

One of her captions read: “If you want a reason to unfollow: Christ is king, abortion is murder, and all illegals must be deported,” while another said: “POV: You were assigned intelligent at birth, but you identify as liberal."





And surprise, surprise, the account blew up, with millions of viewers believing that Emily Hart was in fact a real woman.

Through the account, Sam also started flogging MAGA-themed T-shirts, at which point the scammer was making a few thousand dollars every month.





Sam brutally added: "The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people - like, super dumb people. And they fall for it."

Both accounts seem to have been taken down by Instagram because they violate the rules for not disclosing AI-generated media.
