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.

      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.

      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.”

      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.

        It’s definitely not stupidity, you don’t have to be stupid to fall for propaganda. They just overwhelm you with information so it becomes impossible to filter out the truth, so people default to what they feel or instinctively grasp.

    These are the exact same people who cheer when Hegseth says that women shouldn’t be in the military.

    This is how they see women in uniform; as sex objects. As a fetish. Not as people who put a lot of hard work into doing a really hard job.

    Americans will worship the ground a soldier works on, to a degree that absolutely sickens me (and I’m in a military family), but only as long as that soldier is male. The moment a woman picks up a rifle, she’s a pin up, nothing more.

      Like honestly, stuff like this is beyond just regular stupid… This is brain damaged moron levels of stupid.

      I honestly don’t know how these people survive day to day being this gullible and this stupid.

      “Ma-gai-tees”

      Not sure how you meant it, but every turn of “magaites” is overwhelmingly dumb tbf. I take and agree with your point, but try again and try harder.

      The previous Epstein administration did the same stuff without AI. I doubt the magaites are more stupid than those that think all this mask-off US madness started with Trump. Libs are being played as much as the Magaites…

      I think Onlyfans doesn’t allow AI generated fictional people. You need to ID yourself to OF anyway if you want to make money.

        What if I use AI to gender bend myself, and put a disclaimer in really tiny text somewhere?

    Exactly as designed. How can one muddy the waters further? I know!! If the people won’t support us, we’ll make up ones that do!

    I mean it is clear what’s happening here. Some dude in his 20s is playing around with AI and using it to generate porn picture of women with big boobs.

    Anyways, lots of people are gonna fall for it and that’s probably gonna increase the number of recruits i guess. Since many people will think “aww, they have hot women at the military, let’s go there”. And so the military has more meat for the grinder.

    I just hope that most affected will be the MAGA territories since they’re the ones starting pointless wars.

      They did this with real people too. Pretty and/or hunky “officers” to lure in the kids. Tale as old as time
