not only can the same logics apply to any media, as you can always say that mass cultural consumerism exploits vulnerable, but I also struggle to consider the MAGA crowd as the vulnerable people right now

Some wanted really specific entertainment in the form of AI generated conservative young girlfriend, this guy provided it

If it's immoral, you should also go after Hollywood for making blockbusters that aren't AI generated but have somehow fewer substance these days

However, for now, no law was broken in the process

It does not seem clear if they knew it was Ai generated. The creator seems to think his marks were none the wiser, as evidenced by the liberal version experiment and his comments therein.
I don't think that MAGA voters care about AI, fictitious content and the veracity of what they see, share and promote

They wanted a mirage, this guy sold it to them

I am trying to refrain from being so derogatory and place the most likely reasoning on the loneliness epidemic.

If 1/3 Americans have in fact had a "romantic relationship" with Ai, that would be more than all of the MAGA men. Teens and the elderly are also above average.
