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 mean it is clear what’s happening here. Some dude in his 20s is playing around with AI and using it to generate porn picture of women with big boobs.

    Anyways, lots of people are gonna fall for it and that’s probably gonna increase the number of recruits i guess. Since many people will think “aww, they have hot women at the military, let’s go there”. And so the military has more meat for the grinder.

    I just hope that most affected will be the MAGA territories since they’re the ones starting pointless wars.

      They did this with real people too. Pretty and/or hunky “officers” to lure in the kids. Tale as old as time

      More like some political actor with a real motive is using AI to produce sexualized propaganda targeted at young men
