Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here

Go to gRoK if you want to know Africa

"mislabeled"? Sounds like an *understatement* to me. What I can see looks suspiciously like it shows countries that *don't exist* in those borders, under *any* names or labels.

My favorite map of Africa. Let the giant rise.

The Stupidity on daily display by this Administration is breathtaking.

This happens when you don’t care about facts and just throw up data to prove your point.

EVERY country?? Even ai gets like, one of them right

What a bunch of lazy careless fucks

I cannot decide - do I admire more the land whose name is buried in an unnamed land or the landlocked Côte d’Ivoire ?

CLOWN SHOW: Laurel & Hardy would be more competent!

I read "they used AI." Garbage in, garbage out.

50% were close. Close is good enough.

@ericjgeller.com They are not the first people to think that Africa is a country.

As long as the US doesn't use it for its next bombing campaign. Those Epstein files cannot see the light of day.

'Murican exceptionalism not to check it out.

Stellar operation Little Marco is running….

This is the dumbest timeline.

I'd give them Uganda. Even a stopped clock...

for this they took down the CIA Factbook?

Somebody would fail maptapp @andalsopizza.bsky.social!

😲😖😖😖😖😖😖

This map clearly indicates a failed state - the USA.

Meanwhile- the Chinese delegation rolling 40 deep with speakers of a dozen indigenous languages.

Concerning …

Americans don’t get taught Geography in school. Just saying…

Kakistocracy - a government filled with the most incompetent!

Only the best people.

We have morons in charge.

Pretty impressive how it fails to even get any national boundaries correct, except for the (non/mislabeled) Cote d'Ivoire and the western boundary of Uganda.

Artificial Incompetence.

Might even have thought they were in Africa while actually being in Brazil.

Liberty University isn’t sending its best..

Grok is going to do so well at selecting military targets and controlling drones!

Just the best people

And this is also what they use to select targets for the military? I'm surprised more grade schools haven't been hit...

America.!

They hired dipshits who used AI to make official presentstions of government data. Once you see this, the whole presentation should be disregarded.

You can’t even make this shit up

I really don’t know how much dumber we can get. But it seems there’s still more dumbness to be uncovered.

It was done on purpose. They didn’t give a 💩 if was right or wrong.

A World Factbook, which some agency like the CIA could make, would help with this.

All of this is because in 2015 Tim Onion wished on a cursed monkey's paw for funnier article headlines about the United States

Dear State Department, I'm looking for work if you need someone to edit your AI slop. Regards, Annmarie

I am surprised they got the continent right.

Anybody surprised? Anybody? Not that they made a public mistake, but that they got EVERYTHING wrong? Nope. They put tremendous effort into fallacy & hatred.

Scariest to me is I'm willing to bet their internal briefings and their decision making processes are absolutely swimming in this kind of AI slop.

Go Claude

Chat, what does the "Côte" in "Côte d'Ivoire" mean?

our tax dollars at work

if you elect clowns ...

Our government is a national shame.

The US delegation is apparently the laughing stock of the conference

Only the best people.

MISLABELED EVERY COUNTRY

The embarrassment continues…

To be fair , I couldn’t do it by memory either. But I would actually look at a map. They can’t even be bothered look it up? That’s pretty much the quality of everything this admin does. Absolute morons.

When AI really gets hooked into pilotless bombers and cruise missile targeting it's going to especially amazing things.

Enshitification!

Our government is run by nincompoops!

TIL, there is still some aid going to Africa

That's funny, more incompetence from the trump administration. Maybe Rubio is too busy running Venezuela?

Wait, you’re saying Africa is not one country? Whoa

Trump leaving office doesn't cure this. We are more and more seen as non-serious people, with a non-serious culture, doing non-serious things. And I'm pretty sure most of the world is enjoying this fall from grace.

This is what happens when skilled and experienced professionals are substituted with very loyal and incompetent lickspittles. It will take decades to rebuild from this nightmare.

1000% sure they had AI generate it

Not to minimize the possibility of midterm shenanigans, but this is the kind of thing that makes me question their ability to actually achieve midterm shenanigans. This entire administration is completely incompetent, even with the most basic of tasks.

Par for the course...

What goofs, mixing up Uganda and Wakanda!

Pretty clear this administration wants Africans to die

I think another AI giveaway is the useless colour scheme

Ignorance always the handmaiden of bigotry.

Brilliant!

How is that even possible? I ....what? How?

These borders aren't real borders, either...

Generated with xAI 🤟🤪

And we wonder why we’re in the national nightmare mess that we’re in?

Big IDGAF energy from US gov't. Again.

The incompetence of the US Gov't has no bounds!

American greatness on display, both our AI and human competence.

AI only further enables the dumbest motherfuckers on earth to occupy incredibly important positions that they have no business occupying.

Not only is that not Nigeria, it isn't Niger, which is a totally different shape. What the hell is going on here?

Africa's most populous country is not landlocked. That seems like an important thing to get right.

My cousin(Dad’s peer) served in Morocco, Uganda(Amin), and Ivory Coast. State Dept., but actually CIA. Rolling over in his grave.

They're too lazy & underpaid to even compare it with an actual map first? You couldn't make this shit up.

Intellectual laziness is a feature, not a bug. Incompetence is too kind a description.

Just because so many in the State Dept are stupid, doesn't mean the world outside the US is stupid.

Let's be as disrespectful as possible in case they can't already see our racism.

The visuals were probably subbed out to some guy who prints the menus at Mar-a-loco. No-bid contract, but the Reflecting Pool guy dropped out?

They take full responsibility for disrespecting, demeaning and insulting African countries. The odd thing is they showed up at a conference at all. How did that happen? I suspect simply to show this map.

We found more of the poorly educated

At least they're ON the map!!

Created by AI, but nobody at the State Department noticed the major errors before including it in a presentation at a global conference. Emblematic of the entire U.S. government right now.

Idiots will idiot!!🤮🤮🤮

Why didn’t they just list them all as “sh***ole countries” like their Dear Leader?

Posted by the UK press because the US media is too stupid to have caught it

Even if you got all the others wrong, how no one thought thay perhaps the Ivory COAST was maybe next to the ocean?

Proudly stupid. That's us. Hold your applause, we're just getting started here.

They'll blame AI, but don't mistake this. It's an intentional slight to every nation in Africa.

The incompetence is pathetic, mind-boggling and frightening all at the same time.

Listen, Maptagg is hard.

Unforgivable. You just have to download a graphic of a map by a reputable mapmaker. These people are unbelievably dumb.

"US finds new way to publicly shame itself."

Jeff graham will eat as much shit as possible if it means he gets to be an ambassador some day. I hope this clown gets fired like so many civil and foreign service did why he stayed silent to keep his job.

unless there are consequences I fear this will keep happening :(

Wow! I'm not very educated about Africa and I can see how bad that is. Do they not even know the meaning of Côte?

Americans not qualified for their jobs,trump is responsible

Artificial Imbecile .

Oh my f'ing god. Monumental incompetence.

I hope it’s not the map that Kegsbreth is using to plan military contingencies.

God, how fucking embarrassing.

So does the Administration just start referring to that incorrect map as authoritative or is there going to be a Sharpie situation coming up? With these guys, you never know. You just know it won't be "We made a mistake"

Pathetic

This is a problem in this administration

Feels good to be respected as a nation again

Canada’s subtle vulnerability: unlike most countries, the Trump administration can identify us on a map.

Americans have always been known for being lousy at geography but this is beyond the pale coming from the US State Department.

And feel free to play the "What if Obama/Biden/Hillary did that" game and imagine the insane, apocalyptic, incandescent, rage that would follow on Right wingnut News.

The dumbest of the dumb…

Unreal.

We'll save Australia. Don't want to hurt no Kangaroo.

agi is here bro

And I am out here being checked for comma placement in a sentence..

AI is only as good as the discernment of the people using it.

The entire administration is incompetent.

I'm going to guess that the other data it was meant to illustrate is not exactly reliable, either.

Trump: Well, as long as they got white South Africa right.

The orange clown train never stops...OMG. Well, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth falsely used a quote from Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon prayer service, as if it was a Bible quote. Day drinking. And they have all the big weapons.What we have is one vote and they're trying to gerrymander those away.

AI is going to ruin so much of our lives because a bunch of rich dipshits think its magic and a few rich dipshits want to corner the market on knowledge.

If only it weren't true.

Muttley's Signature SnickerALT: Muttley's Signature Snickerstatic.klipy.com

that'll be AI.

Hugely embarrassing, especially since the State Department usually employs very smart people who, even if using AI to generate slides should have fucking known that this map was utter garbage. We're so fucking cooked.

Embarrassingly stupid.

Their level of incompetency is terrifying. It’s why I haven’t eaten lettuce in 3 weeks.

Shocked Face ExpressionALT: Shocked Face Expressionstatic.klipy.com

AI is a bitch.

tbf the state dept is probably incapable on labeling all 50 states on a blank map of USA.

Fire Rubio

@markwarner.bsky.social doesn't regret his vote for Rubio, btw.

This is a perfect example of why the current iteration of AI tools are completely unreliable. They understand absolutely nothing. Their output is certainly artificial, but it’s never intelligent.

JFC, they are so STUPID! Why are we being governed by such ignorant people?

Of course. What did you expect from unqualified, unserious and stupid people

I'm surprised they got Africa right. This is the Trump State Department, where they used AI to get it wrong instead of getting it wrong themselves.

I particularly like the land-locked Cote d'Ivoire.

We are not a serious global member right now, absolutely dismal in all phases. China is winning everywhere we are failing.

Sporcle could help them w that. I currently can ID them all from memory - oh, and spelled correctly. :)

They plan to phase out AIDS programs in South Africa? Because only POC get AIDS?!? 🤬🤬🤬

Staite Dept.

It’s obvious what happened here, but making the Ivory Coast a landlocked country is pretty great.

Only those educated outside the USA would see the error immediately.

Didn’t anyone in the Department check the map before the conference? Or were they too stupid to even notice them?

@johnsipher.bsky.social @mollymckew.bsky.social @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social @edwardluce.bsky.social

Brought to you by Grok. At least none of them was labeled "s**thole country".

They hired South Carolina pageant girl for every position in the State Dept.

Only the best…bring back DEI!

Côte d’Ivoire doesn’t even have a Cote

Project 2025 graduates.

côté d’ivoire nowhere near a coast!

Was it an AI-ds conference?

We are living in an Onion universe.

I like how Cote D'Ivoire is apparently a region that encompasses the bordering area of 4-5 southeast African countries.

they're too bigoted to care

No doubt prepared by an AI.

That’s either intentional or an almost impressive level of incompetency

MAGA = morons are governing again

I still can't believe this is where we're at. I spend half of each day shaking my head in disgust.

The presenter must have felt fantastic when dozens in the audience whipped out their phones and started snapping pictures of the chart. 😂

Probably created by Grok

Was Nambia the first clue?

My god. And we're actually paying people that f*** up like this?!

We are being led by idiots

At least it didn't make up names, like Trump does sometimes.

united staters are not beating the geography illiteracy allegations

The dumbest people on the planet run the U.S.

We're being ruled by a bunch of clueless numpties.

TIL that Côte d'Ivoire is landlocked

This is Admin's best case is Dog Ate My Homework and things get worse from there

So embarrassing

How unsurprising.

So no one bothered to check for accuracy or once over before the presentation? 🤦‍♀️

OMFG we are represented by the absolute worst among us

Inexcusable! The middle schoolers where I work could do better than this!!

"mislabeled every country" those are not even any real African country's borders. the problems are way, way bigger than that. somehow they way understated the issue... part the course for the media in the Trump era.

OpenAI, eh? That’s probably what my students used to write their papers this week too. I’ve already had one hallucinate a subtitle to my book (it has no subtitle) and another hallucinate a concept that’s allegedly in chapter 2.

Another great AI success!

Embarrassing. They’re too lazy to use any maps app so they don’t look fucking stupid.

Nobody in the Trump administration wants to use their brain, and this is just vice signaling on their part.

How is it possible that nobody in the State Department was able to spot the problem? The shapes are nonsense and most positions are wrong. The US Departments will need to get rid of a lot of knuckleheads after the GOP is out of power.

It’s not just that the ai switched labels. Those colored blobs are not shapes of countries at all.

Is anyone else bothered by “Cameroon” not even connecting to the chart?

Unbelievably stupid. Very time these fools participate on the international stage they embarrass themselves and the U. S.

Not only are they mislabeled, they are even the correct shapes and locations of the countries...🙄
