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.

Not even AI can make the carpet match the drapes.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

... You mean carpet? Anyway, is this laidy getting lewd? Wait, has this been an onlyfans groft the whole time?

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

One more example of just how fucking stupid the magaites are.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

"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.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

It sounds like a parrot of the way conservative people talk, by coining new adjectives to make them sound like they had a "gotcha" moment. In reality, it adds nothing to the discussion, it's just a dog whistle.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago

Their lives are miserable, it’s why they lash out so much.

[–] TotalCourage007@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

They are also swooning for this AI fruit drama youtube channel lmao 🤣. I'd rather watch paint dry.

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.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

It sickens me people think like this too. Same as Grans in the military. Like, who gives a fuck… I don’t see them during for their country like they will be.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So creating an onlyfans account using Grok is profitable?

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

um, can i ID myself and then have my biblically accurate foot AI step on things for OF money NO ONE STEAL MY GENIUS IDEA

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Ok I'll just create an id with ai too

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

What ai software would you suggest. I think I can sub £50 to create an active OF with a £500 take.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 103 points 1 day ago (4 children)

What a dumpster fire of a website.

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That even ignores the even more egregious fact that she was supposedly Army. How many Army personnel are usually on Navy ships?

There are exceptions of course, and any number of possible explanations. But just that off the bat should make you pause for a second since it's weird.

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

On top of that, can you imagine wearing heels on a pitching deck?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

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."

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The AI didn't think. The person making the prompt did.

Correct. I'll fix this.

[–] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 day ago

personally I block all autoplay even if muted

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

I thought removing lead from gasoline was supposed to raise general intelligence levels?

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 49 points 1 day ago

You have to also offer quality and freely available education to you populace.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The people it affected are very much still alive and most of them will be for a long while longer. 30 years isn't THAT long ago.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

What are you on about? Lol, 1996 was 10 years ago.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Banned in 1996 in USA. If you were born in 76 or earlier, you breathed a ton of it during brain development

[–] Mondez@lemdro.id 8 points 1 day ago

It is quite obvious that it's AI

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well you do have to be extra special stupid to be maga so it makes sense.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me whenever I meet a red hat.

[–] kernelle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She looks like Taylor Swift had a Marilargoo face lift

[–] 46_and_2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

She looks like a generic Russian/Slavic yassified girl, which makes me wonder who and for what purpose generated her.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

This might be the prompt

[–] LostWanderer@fedia.io 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Their stupidity truly is boundless.

[–] Rika@crazypeople.online 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

In the past the military would've had to pay an actress to pretend to be a bridge bunny.
