A Victory Day mural in Moscow Oblast costing 1.6M rubles (~$20K) featured an AI image of a soldier used for AFU recruitment. Officials quickly covered it after the blunder was discovered. (sopuli.xyz)

The source doesn't say it was AI, and I reckon it was an inside job

AI displayed the correct image for the prompt "photo of a heroic soldier"

Heroiam Slava!

That is plausible if it is AI. "Show a hero from the Special Military Operation in Ukraine" lol

From what I can see, this source also doesn't say it's AI.

From a different article:

The controversial image appears to have been generated using artificial intelligence and was approved by the city administration before painting began.

Ironically, according to Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), the same stock photo from Depositphotos has been used in their own recruitment materials.
