At least two million people from the European Union and the United Kingdom visit the United States yearly to see the sights and mingle with Americans.
However, Americans have formed their own opinions about what the stereotypical visitor from each nation and those ideas have been brought to life by AI.
AlertContent asked Midjourney, a system that creates images based on text prompts, how Americans think tourists from each country look while visiting the US.
