that's not mislabeling. that's pure AI slop

can't blame OpenAI for hallucinating a map, that's what it's good for - can blame officials for not proofreading it though

The way a lot of people use AI is kind of proof the only thing they ever did or cared about was appearances and hype. There is not one iota of interest in reality. Every waking moment is a walking con and a sales pitch.

Landlocked Cote d'Ivoire is also interesting. Well, I guess it's a coast of some river or something facepalm

Maximum effort going nowhere for 70 years.

Could this not be intentional? Who wants to waste time getting a map of "shithole" countries right? /s

This administration is staffed by drunks and imbeciles. Their naked corruption is offensive but their stupidity possibly more so.

Is there anyone working for the Trump administration who is even borderline competent? Like, it is getting farcical.

The mislabeling is egregious but also the whole map is way out of sorts! UK, Greenland and Australia locations for starters my goodness...

No surprise, you hire idiots you get things like this making the US look totally incompetent. We have seen things like this happen many times over the past 2 years.
