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:
I think comparing it to the Berlin Wall which you were murdered by armed guards if you tried to cross is maybe a tad dramatic.
I didn’t, the article did by paraphrasing Reagan. And hyperbole is a perfectly valid figure of speech anyway.
That doesn’t read like paraphrasing Reagan, it read like “compare it to the Berlin Wall.” If that was your goal it was far too opaque, so my not catching it is pretty understandable.
Hyperbole is valid but it’s also valid to point out when hyperbole is unproductive/so ridiculous it kind of works against the entire point of making the statement. There’s hyperbole that achieves emphasis, and then there’s hyperbole that achieves “this is so patently absurd it makes me disagree with you.”
It is one of Reagan’s most famous (and lucid) statements. The connection is fairly obvious to anyone familiar with the history.
You literally didn’t use any of the words he used other than “wall” or reference him at all. Showing the Berlin wall with an Apple logo does nothing to indicate Reagan.
This is such a ridiculous argument. Feel free to have the last word, I’m done dude.
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.
Shush. Welcome our AI overlords!
Seriously, make an effort. These took me 30 seconds and only a slight reprompt tweak.
Ooo that 2nd one is fun. Feels little too open to be a “walled garden” (having the outer wall re-enter frame towards the bottom would be more evocative) but it’s very visually interesting.
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
Everyone’s a critic!
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
The era of Apple slowly opening up its platforms and devices without government intervention has ended.
When was this ever true? Apple has always been a walled garden.
Fuck Tim Apple and the rest of these grifters.
