Famous AI moments in History

I was using Bing AI in creating a historical moment

In this photo, US Navy Admiral Dewey is celebrating his victory over the Spanish navy after the Battle of Manila Bay. The battle was a decisive victory for the United States, and it helped to secure American control of the Philippines. Dewey is shown here standing on the deck of his flagship, the USS Olympia, with his officers and crew. He is wearing a white uniform and a sword, and he is holding a telescope. The Olympia is surrounded by other American ships, and the Spanish fleet is nowhere to be seen.

Bing AI creation leads you down the rabbit hole.

The famous Battle of Texel, in 1795 at Den Helder. The French cavalry defeats and captures the Dutch fleet.

Now that's what a Navy admiral should look like. I'm currently listening to ZZ-Top's "Sharp Dressed Man."

Fun fact: Dewey is the only admiral ever to be promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy. "Of the branches" ranks are exalted ones indeed. For instance, the Sergeant Major of the Army, while technically still an enlisted man, has the billet of a four-star general. There have only been three General of the Armies, including George Washington.

By General of the Army, you don't then mean the five star general rank in WW2. I remember a story about that, as it is the equivalent of Field Marshal in other armies. George C. Marshall didn't want to go down in history as Marshal Marshall.

"We looked down the river and we seen the British come
And there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing"

That is the best I could do with Bing AI, it doesn't like to show battle scenes.

LOL, that's funny.

General of the Armies is a higher rank than a General of the Army, which probably no general until WWIII is ever going to attain again. Sorry, I was clear as mud. General of the Army was created to be equivalent to the European rank of Field Martial. General of the Army is a 5-star rank. General of the Armies is a higher rank, let's say a "6-star" though nobody has ever worn any special rank insignia for it.

Generals of the Armies

George Washington
Ulysses S. Grant
John J. Pershing

Generals of the Army

Ulysses S. Grant
William T. Sherman
Philip Sheridan
George C. Marshall
Douglas MacArthur
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Henry H. Arnold
Omar Bradley

Pershing is the only general to be promoted to General of the Armies during his lifetime. He just continued to wear his four-star general insignia. Here is the flag they gave him though.

With ships out to the horizon as far as the eye can see, landing craft of the massive U.S. invasion armada pour out supplies and military equipment onto the beach at Okinawa in April 1945. U.S. naval forces unleashed a “dazzling display of maritime power” while advancing toward Japan “with hardly a pause and without an important defeat.

That's... a lot of ships.

OH Perry's immortal dispatch to Major General Harrison after the Battle of Lake Erie, 10 September 1813, "We have met the enemy and they are ours-- two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop." The victory secured the Great Lakes region for the United States and ended the threat of invasion from that quarter.

The helicopter is funny in the second picture.

On the morning of August 5 1864, Admr. Farragut’s force steamed into the mouth of Mobile Bay in two columns led by four ironclads and met with devastating enemy fire. One of its iron-hulled, single-turret monitors, the USS Tecumseh, was sunk by a torpedo. The wooden navy ship USS Brooklyn stopped. The rest of the fleet then drifted into confusion towards the southern controlled pentagonal masonry Fort Morgan. However, Admr. Farragut allegedly rallied the crew with the words: “Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead!” Torpedoes then were sea mines.
