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.

      That outfit is not proper army attire. (Tights, short skirt, stiletto heels) It’s like the AI saw J.A.G and said 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.

      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.

        I’m gonna go out on a limb and reach for it… and say that on a LST, that platform exists… but considering the time, those ships are all decommissioned

          You can see Aegis radars where they would appear on a destroyer, but on an actual ship, if she were standing in front of the bridge, she’d be out next to the 5 inch gun. There are no raised platforms that far out in front of the bridge on any Aegis-capable platform.

    I guess the silver lining is that Maga can’t procreate with a clanker…

    …Yet. Please stop the depraved tech broligarchs before they find a way. Please.

        Bahaha, yeah, I instantly thought of that after I wrote the first half of the comment. It’s only a matter of time before Elon makes one of those and calls it the “GROK™ BREEDABLE COK DOK” or something else just as cringe.
