For those who don't want to read the article but do want to understand what it's about:
You download an app on your phone that makes it look like you're streaming to thousands of people
You go to a bar and show your phone to a woman "look, I'm famous"
The woman fucks you because she thinks you're famous or something
The creator of this app is a misogynist scumbag who edits interviews with journalists to erase criticism and promote his app.
Why do you even need AI for this?
The "thousands of people" watching your "stream" are bots. They can respond to what's going on in the video in real time because they're bots. Actually I technically think this would be more efficient and therefore is probably designed so that it's only one LLM pretending to be thousands of people, but I'll call it bots because that's easier to visualise. The bots know what's going on in the "stream" because they can understand what the "streamer" is saying, which means the pickup artist can put on a convincing performance to trick the mark. If it was just a recording, it wouldn't be able to respond to novel situations caused by the mark's behaviour.
I don't actually know if this technology even works, but that would be the intent used to sell it to pickup artist bros.
pickup artist
More like "con artist".
This has little to do with picking up, it could as well be used to scam anyone out of anything.
