Sure, but given that American Pit Bull Terriers are responsible for most US dog attack fatalities, over 16 times higher than any other dog breed, you'd figure that that, not a German breed, would be the breed that AI would choose to represent the USA.

Pitbulls are generally nice dogs. The only reason they're so dangerous is because of how unbelievably strong they are, and they are a very popular breed. It's just bound to happen that someone's pitbull will get a brain tumor or something, and because they have a massive jaw, razor-sharp teeth, and incredible pain tolerance, that could be a disaster.

Rottweillers on the other hand...they aren't exactly mean either, but they tend to be a bit territorial and paranoid about strangers. And they are much larger and even stronger than a pitbull. However there aren't that many around. If there were an equal number of Rottweillers and pitbulls, the Rottweiller stats would definitely be worse.

I think there is truth in your summary of these dog breeds. 👍

Pitbulls are everywhere. There are barely Rottweilers. Of course pitbull bites are more common. The Rottweiler could be the meanest dog in the world, but if it doesn't have the population it's not going to have the bites.

Pitbulls are not everywhere.

They make up ~8% of the total U.S. dog population.

But they're responsible for the highest percentage of bites.

There's no getting around it, there's just something seriously wrong with pitbulls.

That's not how statistics work. There's something like 10x more pitbulls than Rottweilers. So just to match the pitbull numbers, Rottweilers would have to be a full 10x more aggressive than pitbulls. But if you control for population, Rottweilers turn out even more dangerous.

Also, I think 8% is a pretty big percentage for a single breed. That would mean almost 1 in every 10 dogs you see will be a pitbull.

Ugh.

I'm not trying to hate on Rottweilers. I'm sure most of them are just doing what they think is best. But they are also one of the more dangerous breeds.

Your point is not invalid. However, the title I gave this art is not the same as the prompt I gave AI. The prompt was something like:

Rottweiler wearing US flag collar

The art is 100% unedited AI-generated. And the idea for this art came from a prophetic message. The Lord showed that America and Russia are like two Rottweilers circling a Chihuahua (Ukraine). The Rottweilers are growling at each other while the Chihuahua is nervously waiting to see what happens.

Ah, that makes sense.

Another illustration might be an American pit bull somehow getting a South Russian Ovcharka and a Caucasian Ovcharka (the 'bear dog') to fight each other.

The situation is mostly tragic for the Ukrainians and Russians, brothers killing each other, weakening themselves, to the benefit of foreign interests.

The conflict seemed unavoidable, almost since 2014, and certainly once the Zelensky regime planned to join NATO, a hostile (specifically anti-Russian) foreign military organization.

Mankind has been deceived to fight physically against each other.... for what? More money and power? I agree with you that it is tragic. Thanks for posting.

The Chihuahua is one of the most aggressive dogs, probably way more than a Rottweiller. It can't exactly rip you to shreds though.

Chihuahuas are funny. They can act so mean and vicious but one of these small dogs could definitely not defend himself against two Rottweilers. It would be like a man trying to fight while wearing high heels.
