Well, usually the first lady wears heels, sometimes a girdle and makeup.

Musk is itself the deep state that he’s been crying about.

Better start referring to Musk as “Leader of the Deep State”

In fairness it’s an Afrikaans POS that probably has a home in Orania. It’s the kind of South African MAGA would love.

That’s a whole lot of fascists, I would say. Or a whole lot of complete idiots.

I voted for Harris. Talk to the people who refused because Harris fell short of their line that said “To ride you must be THIS PURE.”

They’re around each other often. One shouldn’t have to resort to AI to manifest an image of them beside each other. IMO, using AI in propaganda (even if factually accurate propaganda) makes the message come across as phony and those in agreement look disingenuous or dumb since the propagator couldn’t even bother to use reality in their imagery.

That’s assuming people can even tell. It’s at the point now where a lot of people are starting to struggle.

Even if people couldn’t tell, when it comes out that a purportedly real photo is AI, it still can greatly undermine a point.

Fine if the photo is obviously AI as an obviously fake over the top satire, but other than that, particularly when there’s just a huge library of real photos, don’t resort to AI fakes.

You’re stuck in the old way of thinking, when facts and reality mattered. The only thing that matters now are feelings, specifically outrage, or smug superiority.

Does it really matter?

Musk just killed the US budget bill with a bunch of tweets that were explicit lies, and people lapped them up. Bizarre, obvious AI slop gets tons of engagement on Facebook.

And there are zero consequences.

Trump and Musk embraced a post truth world, so maybe it’s time for their opposition to stop pretending like America can (as a whole) think critically and fight fire with fire. Maybe it will accelerate the fall of the platforms that enable them.

Look at A.I. Trump’s face — he almost looks like a human.

The lens sharpness and focal length seem a bit off between the foreground and the background but I don’t know enough about photography to say with authority if this is particularly telling. The poses and the gloss just seem too perfect and there is no apparent motion transpiring. Musk’s face also seems to lack depth as his left cheek looks like it’s just painted onto the same plane as his face.

After feeling like the image was off, I reverse image searched it with the text cropped out and found no results that did not have the text superimposed. Out of curiosity and without any idea of how reliable they are, I tried a site that claims to be able to detect if images are AI and it said it was ~98% sure it was generated through Stable Diffusion.
