The Logo for Donald Trump International Airport Appears to Be AI Slop [View all]
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/trump-airport-logo-aiDonald Trump is now the first president to have an airport named after him while still in office. And what better way to commemorate this high honor than with lazy AI slop?
Until a few days ago, the Palm Beach International Airport in South Florida was still called the Palm Beach International Airport. Now it’s the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, after a law that his pal and governor of Florida Ron DeSantis signed back in March took effect. Its old logo looked like a riff on Disney’s. Its new one, first revealed by Eric Trump in May, is clearly meant to be a transmogrified Great Seal, rendered — of course — in Trump’s favorite color: gold.
Look past its gaudiness, though, and you’ll notice some things that’re a little off in the finer details. The talons are horribly deformed and shaped differently from each other. The entire legs are uneven, too, and the base of them are represented as a strange conglomeration of blobs, which are also inconsistent. In fact, the whole thing is slightly asymmetrical. The wings have an uneven number of feathers. The two olive branches — another error in itself, because the eagle is supposed to be clutching a bundle of arrows in its right-side talon — have differing numbers of leaves. And the shield only has eleven stripes, as opposed to the thirteen that the actual Great Seal is supposed to feature.
Have we just spent the past couple of sentences blazoning AI slop? Eagle-eyed and outraged netizens didn’t hesitate to make this diagnosis, with one Reddit thread calling out the Trump logo’s incongruities going viral...
