Slop gets dropped. If there’s not a human behind the content, then I’m not going to consume or value it and I will do what I can to disadvantage it.

You’re not going to convince of a message by referring me to a clear piece of propaganda as a source. If one were to do what this user did and simply type out a message instead of ensconcing it in artificiality then I’d listen.

You’re the one that brought up the number of fingers, underscoring how little examination you even gave to that which you attempt to justify. Don’t attempt to deceive others by framing that as my position.

A Potemkin is a Potemkin, regardless of how well it deceives

If it was made with care then I’d expect some thought to be put into it. If it were like the Simpsons or a number of other cartoons for example, wherein a finger is intentionally omitted as an artistic choice, then that would justify a lack of accuracy. The finger count wasn’t even something that I brought up, and I didn’t even look into it in this case until someone else erroneously thought that my gripe was a lack of realism in the message. My gripe is a lack of human in the message, especially when someone wants there to be an imitation of one.

A medium posing as human craft is apathy for the presentation and therein exploitation of the audience. It’s like those spam letters I get sometimes that are made to look handwritten with a supposedly real human’s signature but are just factory-made and stamped on with a mechanized print pad and all they want is to solicit something from me via deception.

isn’t 4 fingered slop anymore

The spam DMs are real, but I think the “reposts” are scuttlebutt based on people not understanding the screenshots of the DMs that they’ve seen in their feed

I think that is the general consensus — that she is likely an unwitting victim

Repost bots? Do you have an example, either by way of link or screenshot?

Only photos and written info that could identify her. The spam accounts probably get banned as they reported. I don’t know of any posts made by any account claiming to be her?

Believe it or not, they’re all Nicole posts removed by Lemmy.World /s
