Even for an AI image, that's pretty low quality. The bricks don't line up.

And thematically I would have gone for something evoking the actual Berlin wall: an AI generated black and white "picture" of Apple Wall inspired by the Berlin wall but with a huge apple logo and a row of Apple Store storefronts

I didn't, the article did by paraphrasing Reagan. And hyperbole is a perfectly valid figure of speech anyway.

It is one of Reagan's most famous (and lucid) statements. The connection is fairly obvious to anyone familiar with the history.

I'm not op but the post was made in the context of the article. The article which had a title modifying this quote about the Berlin Wall "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" to refer to Apple's CEO.

As far as I can tell, the hyperbole was already present before OP shared the image.

...Or have I misunderstood your point?

The geometry and perspective don't make any sense either.

Seriously, make an effort. These took me 30 seconds and only a slight reprompt tweak.

The Apple wall isn't in line with the other walls. It has the perspective of one of those paintings that got Adolf kicked out of art school

Normally I purposefully don't click on articles with AI generated images, this one was so bad I thought it was a really bad photoshop instead
