Why is there just an AI generated stock photo of a random white man?

I think they misunderstood what they were supposed to do with “target audience” data

There's one of these billboards in my neighborhood and I can't help but feel specifically targeted because most people here (other than me) are Latine and primarily consume Spanish media. I guess the Falun Gong don't care who they advertise to because they have infinite CIA money.

Also I'll try to find it but once I got an Epoch Times ad on a YouTube video trying to sell me a "Spygate" poster. It's a huge poster detailing some very complicated reverse Russiagate that I was only dimly aware of, something about Trump accusing Obama of working with China and sending spies everywhere. The poster was enormous and the guy in the video says to display the poster to better explain Spygate to your friends and family. Yeah if you're already reading the Epoch Times you're probably a little detached already. Everyone's gonna stop talking to you if you invite everyone over just to do pepe-silvia

I've seen three of these in Florida in the past two days. Not a good sign.
