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

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.

Sadly being smarter doesn't stop you being ignorant.

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