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.

    I get it, but much of our media has been captured by MAGA loyalists, and has become part of the Conservative Propaganda Network.

    As an American, I appreciate the Independent’s non-American perspective and coverage. Before long, we won’t be able to get ANY unbiased news in America, and we’ll have to count on foreign news coverage.

    It’s actually a great business opportunity for media like the Independent. They should develop an entire division just to cover American news from an independent perspective. American media is becoming increasingly suppressed.
