Trump International Airport" is seen at the airport's main entrance ramp in West Palm Beach, Florida.]() *Chandan Khanna / AFP via Getty Images* Donald Trump is now the first president to have an airport named after him while still in office. And what better way to commemorate this high honor than with lazy AI slop? Until a few days ago, the Palm Beach International Airport in South Florida was still called the Palm Beach International Airport. Now it's the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, after a law that his pal and governor of Florida Ron DeSantis signed back in March took effect. Its [old logo]() looked like a riff on Disney's. Its new one, first [revealed]() by Eric Trump in May, is clearly meant to be a transmogrified Great Seal, rendered — of course — in Trump's favorite color: gold. Look past its gaudiness, though, and you'll notice some things that're a little off in the finer details. The talons are horribly deformed and shaped differently from each other. The entire legs are uneven, too, and the base of them are represented as a strange conglomeration of blobs, which are also inconsistent. In fact, the *whole thing* is slightly asymmetrical. The wings have an uneven number of feathers. The two olive branches — another error in itself, because the eagle is supposed to be clutching a bundle of arrows in its right-side talon — have differing numbers of leaves. And the shield only has eleven stripes, as opposed to the thirteen that the actual Great Seal is supposed to feature. Have we just spent the past couple of sentences blazoning AI slop? Eagle-eyed and outraged netizens didn't hesitate to make this diagnosis, with [one Reddit thread]() calling out the Trump logo's incongruities going viral. "All the resources in the world and the logo for Trump Airport is AI generated," the title lamented. ![A stylized eagle emblem with annotations highlighting inconsistencies: eleven stripes on the shield instead of thirteen, different numbers of feathers on each wing, different numbers of leaves on the olive branches, inconsistent legs, and deformed talons. The emblem is white on a dark blue background.]() In response to a request for comment, the airport directed us to a local official who pointedly did not deny that the logo was AI generated. "The logo was provided to the airport," a representative for the Palm Beach County Department of Airports told us. "We do not have information regarding its production." But if the logo is AI-generated, as it strongly appears to be, it shouldn't be surprising. The Trump administration has eagerly embraced using AI to churn out propaganda so cheap and base that it could be mistaken for satire. Some are calling this "slopaganda," and most of the time it's used to attack the administration's enemies or mythologize Trump. Last fall, Trump posted an AI generated video of himself as a [fighter pilot strafing peaceful protestors]() with barrages of liquid diarrhea. This was mostly received with bafflement. But in April, when he [depicted himself as both Jesus Christ and the Pope](), he sparked genuine outrage among the deeply Christian wing of his supporters. More banally, Trump has also used AI to advertise his numerous vanity projects, such as [posting an AI-generated video of his White House ballroom](). In a sense, maybe his new airport logo is kind of a perfect use case for AI. The displaying of the US Great Seal is [highly restricted](), so it's unlikely that an airport in Florida would be authorized to flaunt it as a logo, even if Trump himself wanted it to. But with AI, you can quickly spit out a cheap bastardization, uncanny in its likeness, but also not quite right. Regardless, the sloppy logo is prominent. A large sign displaying it has already been hung at the airport's main entrance ramp in West Palm Beach, Florida — as seen in this story's header image up top — and appears to be plastered throughout the airport itself. This is what it looks like, apparently, to make "[flying great again]()." **More on AI:** [*The Pollution Being Churned Out by AI Data Centers Is So Severe That It’s Almost Incomprehensible*]() ## Author At Futurism, my work has often centered on bringing a sense of clarity and insight to complex topics ranging from the regulation of emerging technologies to the esoteric ideologies of Silicon Valley executives, while striving not to lose the poetic sense of awe inspired by often-obscure fields like astrophysics and quantum computing. I broke the story of CNET using AI to produce articles that turned out to be riddled with factual errors and plagiarism — a dam-breaking inflection point, as I've reported, that's inspired copycats and endless discourse while beguiling stakeholders ranging from tech giants to purveyors of spam around the web. My work at Futurism has been cited by publications including CBS News, the Los Angeles Times, Vice, Gizmodo, Engadget, the Verge, and Vanity Fair.

In my free time, I'm an avid reader of weird sci-fi literature, an aficionado of East Asian cinema, and, regrettably, a relapsed gamer. Allegedly, I’m working on a debut novel, currently untitled. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
