The unfortunate X post by Israel Katz comes amid a row with President Lula
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Friday shared an image intended to shame Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, but managing mainly to get mocked for many glitches in its AI design.
“No one will separate our people – not even you, Lula da Silva. Shabbat Shalom!” Katz posted on X (formerly Twitter), in both Brazilian Portuguese and Hebrew.
The post was illustrated with an image supposedly depicting Israeli-Brazilian friendship, clearly produced by one of the artificial intelligence (AI) models available to the public.
Among the picture’s many sins was getting both the Israeli and the Brazilian flags wrong, having people’s faces not resemble anything human, and having too many hands and elbows – or not enough. All of them were ridiculed by Brazilian X accounts with tens of thousands of followers.
“I don’t know what’s worse, this ordeal or Lula making fun of Obama. Each one with their fetishes,” said one X user, pointing to figures that vaguely resembled the current Brazilian and the former US president, featuring impossible anatomical configurations.
Não sei o que é pior, essa suruba de braços ou o Lula fazendo broderagem com o Obama. Cada um com seus fetiches pic.twitter.com/cF6a9M2u0K
