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.

    How many of the accounts that followed this one were actually bot/“AI” accounts designed to do nothing but help boost shit like this to a place where the press reports on it?

      Yeah no way I’m believing 1 million real people followed this account. Would be hard to believe even if it said 10,000

        Why not? 77 million people voted for Trump. And before you cry “election fraud”, the pre election polls measured similar numbers.

    Any MAGA who fell for this is beyond stupid (plus utterly unfamiliar with the military). Her uniform is wrong (skirt WAYYY too high). No one wears dress uniforms underway at sea in general, ESPECIALLY an enlisted soldier (who would likely be nowhere near a ship, even more especially in dress uniform). The ribbons on her dress uniform not only change from picture to picture, but are also the wrong size (sometimes) and not even actual US ribbons. I’ve never seen a regulation name tag say “US ARMY” and not a name. The undershirt in her camis isn’t regulation. And this was just a quick look at the photos and only tangentially around the Army at work.

    Oh and that’s before the visible glitches because it’s AI. This is laughably low effort.

    EDIT: Damn, they didn’t even use a real ship as the background. It’s supposed to be a destroyer, and there are no US destroyers with an aft-facing bridge or part of the superstructure forward of the bridge windows. Just truly WTF

    EDIT 2.0: I just saw a couple other photos because I got curious. One has her as a one-star general 😂, and a couple others have her wearing a (shitty looking) Combat Infantry Badge, which is only awarded for being in combat. So, I guess women CAN hack it in combat! Hegseth must be in shambles.

      What if hardly anybody did but Democrats are ready to believe that Republicans are this stupid. Divide and Conquer.

      Even without the technical knowledge of military uniforms, one look at any of these and my mind is just screaming “probably fake”.

      IDK why exactly.

      I think it’s mostly that she’s so young and beautiful and doesn’t have that vapid dead-behind-the-eyes look that most MAGA women do. She looks like a happy vivacious young woman, not like a highly decorated military officer.

      IDK how to say this but if women like her actually existed we would already be overrun with real photos of them in the oval office.

      The other red flags that don’t require technical knowledge that trip the “probably fake” alert buzzer:

      Who takes a selfie with POTUS in the oval office?

      Why is she wearing a crop top that looks like it’s from cost-co?

      Why is she standing around on a ship in high heels looking serious?

      Why is she walking around on a military base with Trump without the usual entourage?

      She’s hot and it’s pro-Trump. Why should they care if it’s real or not if it tickles their…confirmation bias?

    They didn’t even register the triple boob, a news article will not inform them.

    The pic of her in a vehicle with her bare feet sticking out the window appeared to show her with three boobs under her shirt, her right side boob having it’s own seeming cleavage.

    These MAGA freaks are just perfectly positioned to be scammed with AI, aren’t they? Blind patriotism/nationalism, easy to manufacture images of the stereotypical people they hate, rejection of science and facts, unshakable loyalty to the Pedophile-In-Chief, zero critical thinking skills, intense tribalism, single echo-chamber source of “news”, love for a pretty, white face, low intelligence, etc. I know some of them have already fallen for scams, but I bet it’s nothing like what we’ll see in the future, most likely by other Republicans…

    Sometimes I really wish I had the time and energy to get in on this grift. These dumbfucks are the easiest people on the planet to rob. I just need a truckload full of shitty, Chinese made MAGA merch and a stand at some county fair, and I’d be fucking rich. Unfortunately, I have no desire whatsoever to be associated in any way with these fascist shit stains. The money is just not worth having that stench rub off on me.

      There have to have been a lot of people in MAGA that thought this way at one point that got a bit too close to the event horizon and got sucked in. If you play a character full time, you eventually realize you’re no longer acting.

    Yeah but it’s strictly a grift. Which makes me say good for them. We should all be so industriously fleecing these pithed fascist supporters.

      Plus, unrealistic standards just shrinks their already small dating pool. With a bit of luck evolution will take care of the fascists all on its own.

    Honestly pretty surprised…

    Lots of authoritarians like being surrounded by attractive women in uniforms, so it’s believable trump did it.

    I remember in Bogoto some high ranking dude had 3 legitimate super model looking women a company him when he came on board. They were all easily 5’8, but we’re in legit 6 in heals or more on top of that. Super weird running into them unexpected.

    We’re running dangerously low on military psyop egirls ironically enough, so maybe that’s why they’re going to AI?

    Lujan clearly isn’t able to handle this on her own.
