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 thought that generative image AI wasn’t able to generate the same person multiple times in different pictures and contexts. When did that change?

    Exactly as designed. How can one muddy the waters further? I know!! If the people won’t support us, we’ll make up ones that do!

      Wrestling terminology is once again best for describing MAGA. There are certainly “smarks” who know and don’t care, yes. But there is surely also plenty of “marks”, who believes it is reality. Remember how stupid the average person is.

    I saw a clip where a woman like her were standing on a ship in speed, and claimed she (a ‘teacher’) was ready to sacrifice her life for her country and her “People”. Seems the ‘People’ were the US Epstein class, and that several clips of young beautiful woman have been produced in the same style. The Oligarch powers behind Trump, and his presidency apparently need a nationalistic US population now, so embrace for massive nationalist propaganda the next ~10-15 years…

      “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.

        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.

      The previous Epstein administration did the same stuff without AI. I doubt the magaites are more stupid than those that think all this mask-off US madness started with Trump. Libs are being played as much as the Magaites…

      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.

    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.

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

      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 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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.
