“A Societal Loss Of Humanity”: Older Men Are Falling In Love With A Deluge Of AI Generated Female Influencers<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Older men are being scammed and fooled left and right by a deluge of AI generated female influencers,<\/strong> according the NY Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What appears to be a growing wave of glamorous influencers online isn\u2019t always what it seems. In some cases, these personalities are entirely artificial – carefully engineered digital figures designed to look, act, and interact like real people<\/strong>. One widely followed pro-MAGA persona, for example, was ultimately exposed as \u201cnothing more than an algorithm run by a guy in India,\u201d revealing just how convincingly these accounts can mimic authenticity.<\/p>\n

Despite that, audiences continue to engage\u2014often deeply. Many followers, particularly older men, are \u201cfalling for them left, right and center.\u201d Experts suggest this isn\u2019t just about deception, but about a deeper emotional gap. Some describe the phenomenon as a \u201cpandemic of loneliness,\u201d even pointing to a broader \u201csocietal loss of humanity\u201d as people increasingly form attachments to digital illusions instead of real relationships.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s striking is that these accounts don\u2019t always hide the truth. Some openly identify as AI and still attract admiration. Take Ana Zelu, a fictional influencer who clearly labels herself an \u201cai-influencer,\u201d yet maintains a highly curated feed filled with aspirational imagery\u2014luxury travel, fashionable outfits, and picturesque city scenes. Her posts draw enthusiastic responses, with followers commenting things like \u201cNumber one is my favourite\u2026May God bless you,\u201d and \u201cYou are genuinely in a class of your own.\u201d The awareness that she isn\u2019t real doesn\u2019t seem to diminish the appeal.<\/p>\n

The Post writes<\/a> that a similar pattern appears with Milla Sofia, another digital creation presented as a pop singer. Her content includes stylized videos and performances, and although her profile identifies her as virtual, fans respond as if she were a real celebrity. Comments such as \u201cmy sweet love,\u201d \u201cListening to the music of this woman I love,\u201d and \u201cI love you\u201d reflect genuine emotional investment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert explains why this happens: \u201cpeople don\u2019t actually need something to be real\u2026they just need it to feel responsive.\u201d When an account appears engaging, consistent, and attentive, \u201cthe brain starts to treat that interaction as meaningful.\u201d In other words, emotional connection can form even without a real person on the other side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Forensic psychologist Carole Lieberman ties this behavior to social isolation. Even when users suspect something isn\u2019t real, \u201cit seems better than nothing,\u201d and many \u201cconvince ourselves that it is \u2014 or could be \u2014 a real person.\u201d The illusion becomes a kind of emotional substitute\u2014one that feels easier, safer, and more accessible than real-world interaction.<\/p>\n

She said it is a\u00a0\u201cvery sad state of affairs\u201d and \u201ca societal loss of humanity.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time, the technology behind these personas is improving rapidly. AI-generated faces, voices, and videos have moved beyond the so-called \u201cuncanny valley,\u201d making them increasingly indistinguishable from reality. As AI expert Hany Farid notes, while some accounts disclose their artificial nature, \u201cthe vast majority of content is not.\u201d This creates an environment where users are highly \u201cvulnerable to being deceived,\u201d often without realizing it.<\/p>\n

The result is a digital landscape where the boundary between real and fake is fading. These AI influencers may not exist in the physical world, but the emotions they evoke are real\u2014and for many people, that emotional connection is enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
