The account is an example of how artificial intelligence is being used to push political agendas in wartime. MAGA has been swooning over photos of a blonde U.S. Army soldier, walking defiantly alongside President Donald Trump to carry out the America First agenda. But there’s just one problem — she’s AI. Images most likely generated by artificial intelligence depicted Jessica Foster wearing heels on a U.S. warship in the Strait of Hormuz, posing for selfies with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and giving a speech at the president’s “Board of Peace” event earlier this year. The account, which has since been taken down, gained more than one million followers since its mysterious creator started posting on it four months ago, The Washington Post reports. Those commenting on how “beautiful” Foster was and applauding her “America First” message were overwhelmingly accounts with men in their profile pictures, according to the newspaper. Some of Foster’s pictures received over 30,000 “likes,” with users commenting how “beautiful” she was, while others reacted to the ai-generated soldier with eye-hearts emojis. Trump and his administration have fully embraced the rise of AI. It was a prominent feature of his 2024 presidential campaigning and is used across numerous federal government agencies on social media, including the White House account. It’s unclear if any Trump officials commented or shared posts from Foster’s account. Foster’s account is another example of how AI is being used to push political agendas in wartime, as experts warned that creators are attempting to lure social media users to other paid platforms.
