The state department said the discussions at the conference were “substantive and constructive” despite the map
I can imagine how substantive and constructive you can be, when you discuss about politics, problems and collaborations with countries you don’t even know where they are…
it was made with OpenAI tools
No surprise coming from an anti science, anti education administration who believe their own propaganda on overestimating and anthropomorphizing ai tools
Oh yes, the country called “Ivory Coast” is a land-locked nation…
I can’t believe nobody caught at least that.
The lines don’t even map to the legend properly, they have no excuses.
To be fair, it’s in French on the map, and “CÔTE D’IVOIRE” isn’t as obviously wrong if you don’t know French.
I fully expected them to have put South Africa up north, but lucky for them they didn’t try to include it.
I guess nobody in the room was familiar with French, or ever had the curiosity to wonder what CÔTE D’IVOIRE means.
I almost wish the AI threw in some fake countries.
Kalmiba.
Marwambo.
And they’d just happily talk about the happenings in those countries.
I’m surprised that they would have a language other than English included as the Trumpers appear to be focussed upon themselves which logically excludes other languages.
With this Administration do we know it wasn’t purposeful? I can 100% imagine them all huddled around giggling to themselves as they read the map.
It’s a land coast!! Shut up, Commie!!
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
Any other country would employ people with basic knowledge who would spot this at once. But Trump (with the help of Musk and a handful of fratboys) fired anyone like that. Knowledge, expertise and competence are a negative in their eyes. They want ignorant sycophants only.
Probably something to do with employing every Trump sycophant they can find. No competence left.
According to the US, Côte d’Ivoire (or Ivory Coast for those who don’t understand) is a landlocked country.
American’s knowing nothing about the geography of the rest of the world? Say it ain’t so
This is actually hilarious.

There’s something else going on there. The shape of Nigeria looks correct, but it’s rotated out of place.
Yeah, it’s AI slop
It’s really not though… it looks closer to some random, amorphous shape I’d draw up for a DnD one-off than an actual country. If I were asked to draw Nigeria from memory, that’s probably pretty close to what I’d come up with, but just Google how it actually looks and you can see the differences immediately
Upon further inspection I agree with you. I was focused on that coastal body of water Nigeria has.
