Why does the propaganda arm of Iran’s military have a better grasp on the Secretary of β€œWar” than the entirety of American corporate news media?

Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Would give it two thumbs up but AI. A for effort tho.

SNL does a good job at least.

Of all the people who find the right strategy to drive MAGA through the mud... I wouldn't have thought it would be an Islamic government.

Not sure I should cheer this.

But I guess I'll take it as a win.

Heck, of all the people to think of using a sea shanty, I wouldn't have thought it'd be an Islamic government

Fuck I cannot believe this is AI, it is so well done

The video isn't really if you look closer (but I'm guessing LEGO works well for AI because it's limited, square, logical).
The audio - it's stolen from real musicians. Never forget that.
And I'm guessing the lyrics have been provided by real humans.

Ahhh I was thinking how could AI have produced music so consistent like that

This level of shitposting by Iran may soon pass 50 cent vs Diddy.

Do the Danish have anything to say about this?

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't understand it if they did.
