I like the pylon thingy at the front of where a cockpit might go with the pipe running to the rear. And the left tire appears to be melting.

Here's one that I don't if it belongs here or in the History According to Random People thread.
Maybe both.
Anyway, there is this website "worldwarwings.com" that posts their crap on social media.
Most of their "articles" are AI generated and most often accompanied by ridiculous AI generated images.
Their latest gem is about the B-29:
The B-29 Superfortress became famous as a bomber that delivered the nuclear bomb over Japan. However, this iconic plane had a hidden but fatal design flaw, a flawthat led to the catastrophic failure of the aircraft almost every single day of its 14-month service.
The plane that could at least hold a crew of 10, and could ruggedly take down enemy planes, couldn't land without a strange phenomenon happening. When attempting to land, the wing flaps would slow down the aircraft. As a result, it would hit the runway, skid, and keel over.
It was later found out that the controls for the wing flaps and landing gear looked precisely the same, as well as positioned close to one another. So close that exhausted pilots approaching runways flipped the switch whichthey thought were landing gears, but turned out to be the wing flaps switch. This slows down their descent and grounds the plane.
Fortunately, a system was designedto ensure that all knobs and levers were different shapes and sizes so that pilots wouldn't be confused when reaching out for controls. After this modification, no similar accident took place.

. I had missed that it had a "fully enclosed" cockpit with a bird cage on top.
I like the exhaust for the eco-friendly turboprop engine and that squirrel cage fan? thingy under the wing near the LH main gear.

Only one wheel well cover.
This is a good example of both the power and the limitations of generative AI.
The issue described—confusing control layouts—was present in early B-17 models and led to numerous ground accidents. Its eventual design fix is now cited as a successful case of Human Factors Engineering.
The topic is discussed in detail on this forum in 2018:
B-17 crashes due to confusing controls - any info?While AI's ability to extract and summarize this information is impressive, a major flaw in this case is that it incorrectly cites the B-29. The source text is also clearly pulled from a poorly written article, likely generated by another AI—showing how bad inputs lead to bad outputs.
The takeaway: generative AI is only as reliable as the sources it draws from. As with any tool, critical thinking is essential. I consult for a company where younger team members use AI effectively, but they all stress the importance of reviewing the output with a sharp eye.
(Full disclosure: I used ChatGPT to edit this post—the original draft was a mess.)

Yeah this one is true for certain because we know the US declared war on China within minutes - NOT

And more from spewtube. What is dangerous is not so much that many people actually believe this crap (because they get all their "news" from "social" media but because it desensitises people so that when an actual event happens they will go "so what - its been happening for years and did not affect me".

I do believe Roadking01 finally finished the model he needed the color picture of. Since no color pictures (or black and white ones for that matter) ever existed, he had to improvise. I suspect he dropped the missing wheel cover into the carpet and never found it.

Looks like another AI bulldust video that lots of idiots will believe.
I have not seen anything on reputable sites about any new Japanese stealth aircraft other than the F-X which has been in design since about 2010 and, last I saw, will not fly until sometime around late 2028. The RAF were interested from memory so it might be a Gripen competitor if it ever happens.
