"When President Donald Trump revealed the physical model of the sprawling ballroom that will replace the now-demolished East Wing of the White House, something just seemed off. The model, small enough to fit on a table, is supposed to be a representation of the design that the Trump administration had previously teased in renderings. But a closer look reveals some discrepancies, including a dead-end stairway and smooshed-together windows - the kinds of sloppy mistakes that have lately been associated with AI."
"In addition to some clear structural issues, the model has glaring inconsistencies with the planned work. The New York Times discovered that the model has 11 arched windows on the west side of the building, while the renderings on the White House website show nine. There are two extra columns on the building's south side, along with an additional window."
President Donald Trump revealed a small physical model of a sprawling ballroom intended to replace the now-demolished East Wing of the White House. The model contains clear structural errors, including a dead-end stairway and smooshed-together windows. The model deviates from earlier renderings and blueprints, showing 11 arched windows on the west side instead of nine, two extra columns and an additional window on the south side, and differences in staircase design. A blueprint presented shows a single straight staircase to the ballroom, while renderings and a 3D model depict two staircases that meet each other. The mistakes resemble sloppy human or AI-like modeling errors.
