"GameStop started with a mock-up of a statement declaring the console wars over. Sure, that's the kind of thing a company makes for social media when trying to capitalize on something in the news. The store notes that now that the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake is coming to PlayStation 5, there's nothing to fight about anymore, so you can take your Sony Ponies back to the stable and power down your Xbots."
"The official White House account quote-tweeted the post with an AI image of Trump saluting while dressed in protagonist Master Chief's Spartan armor and holding an Energy Sword, all in front of the White House, which notably doesn't show where the newly demolished East Wing would be . Have AI-generation models been fed information about the president's ongoing personal project of putting a ballroom where something else once was?"
Console exclusivity has diminished as systems converge, and major franchises are becoming multiplatform. Halo, Xbox's longest-running franchise, is releasing a Campaign Evolved remake on PlayStation 5, prompting GameStop to post a mock statement declaring the console wars over. The official White House account quote-tweeted GameStop's post with an AI-generated image of Trump saluting in Master Chief's Spartan armor while holding an Energy Sword in front of the White House. The image omits the newly demolished East Wing and appears to show a flag missing ten states, raising questions about how AI models were prompted or what training data they used.
