It's obviously AI generated, to the point that it's likely propaganda to suggest that your enemy does propaganda.

> and the strange head bandage immediately raised some alerts Not much makes sense in the image. Like almost every other AI generated image, as soon as you start digging it falls apart completely - What's the weird arm sling thing ? - Why is there a white corner on his right side, but not the other ? - Why does he have a full size paper sheet glued to his arm ? - The body position doesn't match the bed - The backgrou…

What's interesting about the soldier image is it has the same emotional impact at first glance as if it were real, before your critical faculties engage to sort it, which means its effect has already occurred.

It's straight Pavlovian response. Your perceptions literally come through a feed.
Maybe we recognize how thoroughly propagandized we are already, and these examples are a merciful uncanny valley that can let us step back and really question the shit we are letting pile up in our psyches. Even as a self check, do a word association exercise and then ask how closely your associations reflect objective or even an ideal reality. I do these occasionally to test the quality of my beliefs, the results are reliably poor. Apprehending anything close to reality at all requires constant vigilance and asking how you know the things you know, and we're just at t=6mos, what does t=36 look like?
