The account is an example of how artificial intelligence is being used to push political agendas in wartime
MAGA has been swooning over photos of a blonde U.S. Army soldier, walking defiantly alongside President Donald Trump to carry out the America First agenda. But there’s just one problem — she’s AI.
Images most likely generated by artificial intelligence depicted Jessica Foster wearing heels on a U.S. warship in the Strait of Hormuz, posing for selfies with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and giving a speech at the president’s “Board of Peace” event earlier this year.
The account, which has since been taken down, gained more than one million followers since its mysterious creator started posting on it four months ago, The Washington Post reports.
What a dumpster fire of a website.
Where she’s standing does not exist on any warship. It’s like she’s just aft of midships, on the port side, on an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, but the bridge is facing the wrong way. The fact that military related entities looked at that and thought it was fine to publish is even more laughable.
Damn, I thought they started with a real photo and added her in.
AI is getting better all the time.
personally I block all autoplay even if muted
That outfit is not proper army attire. (Tights, short skirt, stiletto heels) It’s like the AI was trained on Catherine Bell from J.A.G and deduced to: “Yep. That’s exactly how it works.”
The AI didn’t think. The person making the prompt did.
Correct. I’ll fix this.
What I hate most about the Independent these days is that they’re a UK news agency for UK news reporting, but seem to want to heavily report on local USA news now.
Not just big international news worthy stuff, but lots of small local area USA news.
I’ll see some headline that sounds serious, only to open it and find it’s not referring to events in the UK at all, but in the USA, which is entirely irrelevant to me.
Not sure why they pivoted to being a US news company, but I’m sick of it, so they’re on my blacklist now.
