How did they not have a stock image of a flag? Like I don't even understand how "literally the one static symbol that they spam over and over" wasn't available so they turned to AI slop that can't get any of the details right because it doesn't rationally understand what a flag is it just makes stripey bits and colors and stuff that look like pictures of flags.

Edit: holy shit the full image is even funnier but explains the why a little - it has the eagle melting into the flag and an additional second sun above the eagle as well as an extra ghost flag overlaid on it. It's like a hackneyed caricature of itself made even funnier by all the major errors.

lol they hit it with the AI image enlargement

Upscaling existing images works much better because as I understand it AI image generation is basically trained by blurring/adding noise to images that are tagged with descriptions and concepts and having the AI try to undo this until it gets close enough to the original image, because bafflingly that makes something that can take a description and concept tags and unblur an image that's pure noise to produce something that could conceivably have those descriptions and tags. When you've got an image that's just kind of noisy or blurry, like one that's been crudely upscaled, it's very good at sharpening it although it still tends to look off.

This just looks like they prompted a generator with "eagle and American flag flying over wheat field at sunset" and grabbed the first output that looked kind of like a flag, which is an impressive level of laziness and grifting from their support staff.

Maybe somewhere else, there's a GOP elephant with extra legs and the trunk going the wrong way.

Yeah an upscaler on a real image would be more competent than this lol @KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net
