Comment on No it won’t
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 day agoBait and switch. Bait you with what you saw, but hey, “look at this product over here!” The thread is almost a direct copy of how AI slop would pull you in. Show you “You’ll never believe this cool thing!” you click on it because it is cool looking, but it redirects you to a site selling similar items but not the cool AI fake thing.

But the comment isn’t pointing you anywhere else. And the commenter didn’t make the thread. And the wallet is actually real.

Parent comment hasn’t posted the exact wallet shown (AFAICT). And while this is getting off track for something that wasn’t entirely a serious comment to begin with, you don’t have to have the OP and commenters praising a product to be someone selling a product. Create interest, then introduce a link to a product. It always seems more honest if “I’m not sure about (thing), but I have (similar thing) you can get (link here)”, especially if original thing is potentially an AI fake anyway. I’m not really interested in pursuing this hypothetical any further, maybe I’m too cynical, but it’s too easy to push products in a way that seems innocuous.
