I refuse to believe that random Europeans have even heard of states like Wisconsin and Montana, let alone have a clear conception of what the people there are like. I'd be surprised if even 1 out of 1000 Europeans could find more than 5 US states on a map. Hell, I'd be surprised if 1 out of 100 Americans could name all the states or find them on a map.

In short, I call bullshit.

The states Europeans would know about or have a vague notion or stereotype about them: CA, TX, NY, FL, NV for the obvious reasons and they're vacation destinations. More recently due to media, popular culture, and recent events. OK (musical), KS (Wizard of Oz), NJ (Sopranos), OR (riots, antifa), LA (Mardi Gras) may conjure up some impressions.

What surprises me is that more aren't fat. I think if you ask a European to list three adjectives about Americans fat would top the list.

R73:

I know what you mean, but AI output is not "compassionate." That word refers to human-to-human feelings or communications, even if with an intermediary such as writing. If you saw something "sweet" here, it is mere algorithm. Warhol would recognize this new step in the Machine Age, as individuation inevitably yields to mass consumerism, with rancid cynicism the only balm.

The funny thing is that it's all really just an updated version of Norman Rockwell sentiment-and-whimsy syrup with violence, dishonesty, stupidity and shallowness. A stereotype of stereotypes for each state. Death by media.
