Seriously? An AI Generated Image?

Are we really putting AI-generated images in Wikipedia articles now? Anything using or associated with AI-generated images can be classified as AI slop.

A simple picture of a taco would fit better. Plus, even if the image and other variations of it are circulating social media, having Trump dressed in a chicken costume with tacos in front of him comes across as childish and weird and reserves no right on an encyclopedia meant for producing information.

The image is an example of the memes floating around the net. And a good one too. So what's your problem wit it? --Denniss (talk) 16:42, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although I wouldn't want us to casually use an AI image to show something factual, that's not what's going on here. No one is going to be misled into thinking that this is actually what Trump looks like or how he dresses. It is very obviously a joke or satire. And, in a section of the page that is about the memes that were generated as part of the subject of the page, it shows a representative example of such a meme. Wikipedia is very properly looking critically at the risks of using AI-generated content, but that should not be misused as an argument to whitewash criticism of a political figure. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:53, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Dems dressed up a taco truck... [1] if a free image of that is available, that could be used. -- 65.93.183.249 (talk) 17:00, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
