Stereotypes are a fact of life, unfortunately! Sometimes, they’re dangerous — other times, they’re just plain hilarious. With AI’s help, this person shows us how Europeans envision Americans from each state. Brace yourselves, folks, because the results are a delightful mix of wickedly mean and side-splittingly hilarious. So, let’s explore the AI-generated caricatures that’ll leave you questioning the accuracy of our international reputation, all while sharing a few good laughs.
Wyoming
Ah, Wyoming! The land of wide-open spaces, majestic mountains, and, of course, those infamous cowboy stereotypes. Europeans might jokingly think this state is nothing but a vast expanse of tumbleweeds and a few scattered bison.
And yes, they’ll probably quip about riding horses to work and roping cattle during lunch breaks. That may be why this guy looks like something from a spaghetti Western! But European friends, there’s more to this beautiful Western state than that!
Virginia
This state has a rich history and a plethora of stereotypes to boot. When you think of Virginians, what comes to mind? Perhaps you envision a charming southern belle sipping sweet tea on a porch swing while reciting Shakespeare with a cultured accent.
Or maybe, like these Europeans, you picture a Revolutionary War enthusiast proudly donning a tricorn hat and passionately discussing the Founding Fathers over a plate of fried chicken. This may have been accurate back in the day, but nowadays, the fashion is just a little more modern!
Utah
When it comes to our friends from the Beehive State, a few amusing notions might pop into the heads of foreigners. With the abundance of Mormon families, it might be natural to imagine a Utah with an impressive family unit. Many also believe Mormons have fair features with blonde hair, blue eyes, and light skin.
While it’s a state that boasts an impressive population of Mormons, the state also is rich with natural beauty and wide open ranges. Utah also has quite a diverse population. So, maybe these stereotypes need to be adjusted just a little!
Texas
Texas is the land where everything is bigger, including the stereotypes! When you think of Texans, a few images may instantly pop into your mind — cowboy hats, boots, and a drawl that stretches for miles. Y’all better believe they ride horses to work and have barbecues daily.
That last one may be why this AI-generated image looks like this. If this is what people think Texans look like, they’ll be shocked when they come face-to-face with a real one! Wipe this image from your mind if you plan to visit this southern state.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is the land of cheesesteaks, pretzels, and more than its fair share of stereotypes! When you think of Pennsylvanians, you might envision them passionately debating whether Philly or Pittsburgh has the best sports teams.
But, this picture is just too much. Sure, Hersey is located in the state, but that doesn’t mean that all Pennsylvanians overindulge in the sweet treat. In fact, we’re sure that many of them will probably steer clear of it all together! Oh man, we’re almost embarrassed to think this is what Europeans think of this state.
Oregon
When you think of Oregonians, you might imagine them clad in flannel, sipping artisanal coffee, and passionately discussing the virtues of sustainability. And don’t be surprised if they offer you gluten-free, vegan doughnuts while riding a unicycle.
The truth is that this AI-generated idea of what people from across the pond think Oregonians look like is not far off! Even though they got the look right, assuming everyone in Oregon looks like this is a little naïve!
