    That’s a cool af mural. Also Russians have become increasingly dipshit stupid. How can a culture so rich devolve into such a shithole filled with wife beating uneducated drunks?

      When the best and brightest get sent to gulags it sets one’s culture back by generations.

      This could be intentional sabotage by the person selecting the photo.

      Yeah, I’d say we’re so much better here in the USA but we don’t get to call it that now that some jackass just dismantled our government and bartered it off to billionaires. Funny thing that. I mean how much is the USD worth if there is no USA anymore? I guess it just boils down to how many stupid people respect the value. Shit’s gonna hit the fan when MAGAt’s “wake” the fuck up, eh?

      Apologies, but I had to take advantage of the shituation to talk shit about my own. You fucks are awesome. Makes me want peanut butter to be there because I’m jelly as fuck.

    The source doesn’t say it was AI, and I reckon it was an inside job

      AI displayed the correct image for the prompt “photo of a heroic soldier”

      Heroiam Slava!

        That is plausible if it is AI. “Show a hero from the Special Military Operation in Ukraine” lol

        From what I can see, this source also doesn’t say it’s AI.

          From a different article:

          The controversial image appears to have been generated using artificial intelligence and was approved by the city administration before painting began.

          Ironically, according to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), the same stock photo from Depositphotos has been used in their own recruitment materials.
