MAGAts are typically older, so they have less technical knowledge, so they're more likely to fall for AI slop and conspiracy theories.

MODERATORS
Taylor Lorenz has had some great videos on AI Slop lately.
I feel like AI generated videos of very active things like protests would be easy to debunk. Just look at the people in the background and point out the people disappearing after moving behind another person, or look for changing faces.
In the article they mention videos with literal AI watermarks being passed around as if they were real. The targets want to believe they are true and will ignore anyone debunking them.
