AI enables idiots to fuck up ten times quicker.

ivory coast

Landlocked

I feel bad for teachers who have to convince students that reliance on slop is unacceptable when the fucking government does it all day long and no one gets fired

In the same way the internet gave anonymity and a megaphone for the idiots of the world to double down in their stupidity (instead of overcoming it); AI has given the chance for the lazy and stupid to showcase their mediocrity

The country highlight on the far west side is killing me.
The line from it doesn’t point to anything!! Are you saying that country has moved?!

Everything is so stupid.

No, mostly just the US.

I like that the Ivory Coast is not only in the wrong spot, it's not actually on any coast. It's right in the name.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

A Reuters analysis found the image of the map included in the presentation contained an artificial intelligence watermark that signals it was made with OpenAI tools.

Yeah, go figure. And they should be rightfully shamed for using AI to make a diplomatic presentation.

it was cute when it was me and i was about 11 trying to play along with the africa map on where in the world is carmen sandiego but not now.

It’s a land coast!! Shut up, Commie!!

Rhode island is not an island! Checkmate!

Clown show government

Only the stupid.

Lazy people will invent tools and make sure it actually works so they can keep being lazy.

this is, and I cannot stress this enough, so fucking embarassing for the USA

They're doing it on purpose - if they were in the Navy they'd be doing it to porpoises - it's all about the eyerolls and outrage.

AI may have amplified the problem, but the underlying issue, as usual, is incompetent people. We have an executive branch made up entirely of people who are slavishly loyal to Trump. Since only spineless idiots can qualify, that's what we get across the board.

fair point

Part of the problem is US geography is just that… it’s the states. People even outside America like learning where the states are, taking little quizzes.

Do you know the states of Germany?? The regions of France? The counties of Romania!?

And these are literal whole countries in Africa! Grow up America, nobody cares where Iowa is, please fucking learn where motherfucking Nigeria is ffs

Only if you can read a language other than English. Some people are probably wondering why they wear special coats in that African country.

I assumed this was a MAGA flex.

If you want to challenge your knowledge of geography and maps try travle.

Iirc that show was created because like a quarter of US Americans couldn't identify the Pacific Ocean on the map

Most people know the area around them. Europeans included, it's just that the area around them is often other countries.

Europeans frequently underestimate how much larger the US really is.

No, they're incompetent morons. You have to be to be still be working for Trump.

What's weird about this is, whether you like it or not, chatGPT can generate an image of Africa with correct geography and country labels.

Not sure how they managed to fuck this up.

Probably used Grok lol

Additionally:

A literal fourth grader wouldn't have fucked this up, that's how STUPID MAGAs are, even at the very top.

This is what I remind people of whenever MAGA starts threatening, and tries to intimidate everybody: They are Virtuosically Incompetent, and fuck up EVERYTHING they do, even really easy stuff like this. Everything they threaten is a bluff, and they are really bad at it.

Call their bluff Everytime, they are ALWAYS lying.

They are nothing to be afraid of. They are literally dumber than a failing fourth grader.

Grok's owner is from Africa. Even Grok would have gotten it right. They decided to use their own knowledge.

Who cares? We'll just drown it out with chants of "We're Number One!" while waving foam fingers.

MAGA kids didn't watch a show with an obvious Hispanic illegal alien sneaking into countries all over the world.

raises glasses UHM AKCHUALLY the state of Rhode Island gets its name from the island because it's colonial charter mentions it first in addition the mainland plantations. So you can see I am very fun at parties.

WELL WHY'D THEY PUT IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE if I'm supposed to know where it is?? I'm a fuckin tradie not a geologist

Um... E... East Romania. Transylvania... Umm.. South. South Romania. THE ROMAN REPUBLIC OF ROMANIA AND HER OUTER TERRITORIES. Um... West. The west one.

Yeah but AI enables incompetent people. I feel like having to work on something would make you learn enough not to fuck up too bad, generally. But with AI you don't need to learn or research, you can just ask chatGPT to do whatever and call it a day, if you're careless enough

Now everyone is talking about this dumb "mistake" and not them cutting back funds for AIDS relief.

Americans frequently overestimate how large their own country is. The US is about as large as all of the European union. But the US fits inside Africa nearly 4 times. Australia is roughly the same size as the US. So is China. Rusia is about 1.5 times the size of the US. The US is not special in any way, quit the exceptionalism.

oil

cheap labour

diamonds

minerals

Seems simple enough.

Groks owner probably didn't code from. Busy ignoring his kids.

Those are made up shapes, too.

This is so wrong in so many ways that if you told me it was a The Onion article with a made up map, I would believe you. Nothing makes sense. The lines don't go anywhere, all the colors are mismatched. The position, but also the size and the shapes are all wrong. I would bet all the data is also made up and have nothing to do with reality.

Compared to multiple US Presidents going to Epstein Island, and the complicity of the entire federal government in covering it up, this is small potatoes.

Did not know that - it makes it so much worse. They didn't even bother writing a good prompt!

A Reuters analysis found the ​image of the map included in the presentation contained an artificial intelligence watermark that ⁠signals it was made with OpenAI tools.

I suspect some low-level staffer used a joke prompt, maybe expecting it to be flagged early on, and it escalated up the presentation life cycle through multiple layers of people who didn't know or care.

I mean, this is the country that keeps getting the Gulf of Mexico wrong...

Morons with a purpose. Are you worked up? Have you taken a side? The manipulation is working.

The onion was prophetic once again

This is terrible! Could somebody please.............. find Peter Mutharika? Get hold of this gentleman so I can make sense of all this. WHERE IS PETE?
