    It's funny; these images are so obviously fake to me, especially when she's placed next to real people. But will I be able to tell a fake in two years' time?

      Agreed, but you have to think about the context:

      1. Most people are going to be viewing these pictures on a smartphone.

      2. The audience for this particular brand of “lurid patriotism” isn’t likely to be very AI aware/savvy.

      3. Because they’re doomscrolling, they’re not really paying that much attention.

      I think people already don't care. Does it matter that Marvel isn't real, or that people will never meet the famous people they talk about constantly?

      I think the killer understanding the right has settled on is that politics is entertainment.

      I can't tell, and certainly wouldn't notice at a glance.

      I'm on a phone, not sure if that matters.

    Short skirt, blonde hair, and the topper is the high heels. AI or not, someone needs to do some serious self-examination if that's their dream of a woman serving in the armed forces.

      I don't think that her "serving in the armed forces" is the dream these folks are having in their head.

        I'm having a hard time determining if "whacking it to AI army girl" dictates more or less self-examination in comparison to "women in armed forces should look like they have an OnlyFans account". :-)

    Attract guys by their hormones. At scale. The internet isn't clogged yet with AI faking but will be. It's not a "risk", it's basically a certainty.

      Have you not seen Instagram lately? It's overwhelmingly clogged by AI content, much of it masquerading as real people.

    Alternatives in case you cannot read the WP article as it seems paywalled sometimes?

    Soon the entire internet will be custom made for the most stupid people among us.
