As a European I can tell that this is inaccurate - most of us didn't know that half of these places exist.

Most Americans don't, either.

I worry that Buzzfeed’s meaningless AI regurgitation is what most of the internet will look like in 10 years. Ask an AI for its take on an already silly question (Europe is large and diverse) which it is patently unqualified to answer. Maybe ask in English for good measure, guaranteeing further bias. Then take the meanest, most body-shaming and stereotyped answers and post them straight to the website, with a disclaimer that the assholery therein isn’t your assholery, it’s the AI’s assholery.

It really feels like a scene from Idiocracy, but with the dysgenics replaced by AI.

This seems more like what some stereotypes about the areas are. I doubt the AI really had much information about what Europeans, specifically, think about Americans. Most Europeans have rough ideas of rural VS urban America and northern VS southern.

A friendly reminder that almost all of these images depict white people!

How are they just plain mean? Trying to play the clickbait game?

Many of these are normal faces with context, a chunk are pretty accurate stereotype and not insulting, and the rest could be considered mean.

Also from Oregon, with a bun as well 😂

I’m from Oregon and that one is pretty spot on.

Apparently, Europeans think most Americans are still in the 1800s.

That's ridiculous! At most 1700s.
