How do you not get one right?

It was a map that only labeled 7 or 8 countries via callouts. So, pretty easy to see how they could all be wrong.

That means not a single person who laid eyes on it had at least a cursory knowledge of the geography of Africa.

It also means people are talking authoritatively about something without checking that what they are saying is correct.t

The lack of attention to detail, even in the absence of geographical knowledge, is inexcusable and a recipe for disaster: what other decisions are being made with the wrong information?

...but wouldn't take much effort to check at least one of them! Who doesn't know Nigeria has a coast?

Do we not expect this in the time of the end of the great war between Aberbaijan and Albania?

Lol.

"AI watermark"... that's something important and should be in all AI generated images.
