We are truly in the next phase of the Information Age. The Internet connected us all, and now powerful communication tools like artificial intelligence and social media have accelerated it to breakneck speeds. And to top it all off, it's widely available and largely free.
So, it was inevitable that AI would play a significant role in propaganda in warfare. In this current Iran conflict, we've seen propaganda operations successfully seep into our media via influencers and Twitter. To hear them tell it, every victory is a loss, every minor loss is a Vietnam-level quagmire.
And then there is whatever this is.

Translated from Thai: Currently in Iran.
Is Iran using AI generated Lego characters to fight the propaganda war? Why yes, yes they are. Even Islamists and our own homegrown communists should feel insulted. They won't, but they should.
Maybe some liberal politician will use it to recount how her eight year old daughter came up to her, teary-eyed of course, and say to her 'mommy, why is Trump sending American Legos to Iran in a pointless war for oil?'
Well, two (or two thousand) can play that game!

Oh yeah, and it's wrong now that the airman is safe.

Anti-regime Iranians did their own AI counter-propaganda. Everyone knows that our boys remove their helmets when sitting down to kebabs. It's only proper etiquette.

It's basically this.
