Is this real? Nobody is reporting on it.
Why does the flag have no stars?
Because the image quality is poor
It clearly does have stars. They just blur into the field because the quality isn't high enough. Zoom in and you can see there's slightly whiter dots where the stars should be. You just can't really make them out.
The real problem with AI is that you have to be so damn skeptical even of real posts.
