That line on the map that goes nowhere… At least proof read your AI garbage, jeez.
Jesus fucking Christ, it’s like they’re TRYING to embarrass our entire nation from every single department possible. 10 years ago this would’ve amused me more than anything, even if only slightly. But now? Everyday is just another brand new stupid example of our own incompetence with somewhere around a 50/50 split between embarrassing and infuriating. I’ve never been a gung-ho, America-first, capital-P “Patriot”, but I never would’ve even conceived that we would sink so low so quickly; every new rock-bottom simply becomes a new surface-layer to be strip-mined of any remaining shred of dignity, empathy, and humanity
Lmao this guy is a Harvard grad? I’d venture to guess an aide made this but still, your name is on it you gotta check shit like this.
An AI made this. This isn’t just mislabelled, Those blobs don’t correspond to anything meaningful.
Good call, I should have looked more closely
Hate to be that guy, but since the colours match, so probably not someone not knowing but just someone not paying attention while doing their job. Those are a lot more common.The colors match? It’s true the color next to the Côte d’Ivoire label does correspond with a blob which could overlap with the country’s actual location, but… none of the countries depicted here correspond with the shapes of any actual countries. The entire thing is generative slop.
You’re right, i was too quick. This is total slop
To be fair, there is the whole Greenland/Iceland prank (but yes whoever put this together is a dumbass).
