#USA gov't map of #Africa mislabels every country at global conference ‼️
The map contained an #AI watermark imdicating it was made w/ OpenAI tools. 👀
It had:
• Nigeria (where #US currently has several hundred troops deployed) as landlocked in the Sahara Desert
• Mozambique, which is in southeastern Africa, relocated to the Horn of Africa
• Ivory Coast in West Africa was placed on the other side of the continent
The State Dept blamed a staffer.

@dalfen@mstdn.social Lol. Pesky humans. Pesky staffers and pesky human conference attendees demanding geographic accuracy. In the glorious AI future, all maps will be wrong, but human flies won't be around to nitpick and complain. It will be Nirvana.
