#facebook propaganda

I can't decide which is worse, if this is supposed* to be a ditch full of soldiers' corpses, or if the idea is that soldiers just sometimes curl up and have a slumber party among the sandbags in the middle of the day. In body armor, but no helmets, and with weapons just sort of...scattered around. Except for a few who are clutching them like teddy bears.

(*I mean, it's AI, so it isn't supposed to be anything, but what did the person who gave the prompt and selected this output to post on Facebook think was happening?

And while we're at it, what are the working conditions like for that person? I've sort of hazily been assuming it's some sort of overseas sweatshop situation, but is it?)

Or, rather, truthful ads that seem to come from Facebook.
