We Asked A.I. What Europeans Think Americans From Every Single State Look Like, and the Results Are Both Mean and Hilarious

Ah, Wyoming! The land of wide-open spaces, majestic mountains, and, of course, those infamous cowboy stereotypes. Europeans might jokingly think this state is nothing but a vast expanse of tumbleweeds and a few scattered bison.

And yes, they’ll probably quip about riding horses to work and roping cattle during lunch breaks. That may be why this guy looks like something from a spaghetti Western! But European friends, there’s more to this beautiful Western state than that!

This state has a rich history and a plethora of stereotypes to boot. When you think of Virginians, what comes to mind? Perhaps you envision a charming southern belle sipping sweet tea on a porch swing while reciting Shakespeare with a cultured accent.

Or maybe, like these Europeans, you picture a Revolutionary War enthusiast proudly donning a tricorn hat and passionately discussing the Founding Fathers over a plate of fried chicken. This may have been accurate back in the day, but nowadays, the fashion is just a little more modern!

When it comes to our friends from the Beehive State, a few amusing notions might pop into the heads of foreigners. With the abundance of Mormon families, it might be natural to imagine a Utah with an impressive family unit. Many also believe Mormons have fair features with blonde hair, blue eyes, and light skin.

While it’s a state that boasts an impressive population of Mormons, the state also is rich with natural beauty and wide open ranges. Utah also has quite a diverse population. So, maybe these stereotypes need to be adjusted just a little!

Texas is the land where everything is bigger, including the stereotypes! When you think of Texans, a few images may instantly pop into your mind — cowboy hats, boots, and a drawl that stretches for miles. Y’all better believe they ride horses to work and have barbecues daily.

That last one may be why this AI-generated image looks like this. If this is what people think Texans look like, they’ll be shocked when they come face-to-face with a real one! Wipe this image from your mind if you plan to visit this southern state.

South Dakota, the land of wide-open plains, Mount Rushmore, and maybe one of the states that foreigners don’t pay much attention to. Picture this — hardy folks sporting flannel shirts, toting hunting rifles, and expertly wrangling bison on their lunch breaks.

And let’s not forget about their love for all things rodeo — lassoing cows and riding wild broncos like it’s a Tuesday afternoon stroll. So, we’re not surprised this is what they think people live and look like in South Dakota. If this was how it really was, we might be tempted to move there!

When you think of Rhode Islanders, you might imagine them cruising around in their boats and enjoying clam chowder while effortlessly dropping their “r”s. This may be the smallest state in the US, but it still leaves an impression!

It’s not hard to see why Europeans think of yachts and preppy style when they hear that someone is from Rhode Island! But just like every other state, there’s a lot of diversity present, we promise! Still, we have to admit that this one isn’t too far from the truth overall.

Pennsylvania is the land of cheesesteaks, pretzels, and more than its fair share of stereotypes! When you think of Pennsylvanians, you might envision them passionately debating whether Philly or Pittsburgh has the best sports teams.

But, this picture is just too much. Sure, Hersey is located in the state, but that doesn’t mean that all Pennsylvanians overindulge in the sweet treat. In fact, we’re sure that many of them will probably steer clear of it all together! Oh man, we’re almost embarrassed to think this is what Europeans think of this state.

When you think of Oregonians, you might imagine them clad in flannel, sipping artisanal coffee, and passionately discussing the virtues of sustainability. And don’t be surprised if they offer you gluten-free, vegan doughnuts while riding a unicycle.

The truth is that this AI-generated idea of what people from across the pond think Oregonians look like is not far off! Even though they got the look right, assuming everyone in Oregon looks like this is a little naïve!

When many people think of North Dakotans, you might envision them bundled up in layers, driving trucks through snowstorms, and sipping hot cocoa to stay warm — or running through the open plains of the state!

It’s yet another state that many people don’t really pay much attention to. Even with that, though, we’re sure this is a pretty accurate idea of what a North Dakotan might look like! All we can say is we’d be happy to be there. How beautiful!

Cowboy hats, living off the land, and wrangling grizzly bears in their spare time may be what many people think of those who roam the plains of this great state. Sure, there are tons of ranches, and cows may be just as much part of the population as the cowboys needed to wrangle them.

It does strike us as funny that when Europeans think of a Montanan, even with all the modern cowboy movies, their idea is one of the past. Not to say that some Montanans look like this, but we think many of them probably have a little bit of an updated look!

Jazz… Mardi Gras… Gumbo! These are all things that might come to mind when thinking of Louisiana. No matter where you’re from, someone just has to say Louisiana, and these three are definitely the Holy Trinity that come to mind!

That being said, not everyone is into that, and not everyone is always partying and overeating. That is apparently the common thinking of Europeans if we are to believe this AI-generated image. No, Europe — not all Louisiana residents are gorging themselves on seafood each day.

Some might imagine people passionately discussing crop yields, rocking flannel shirts, and hosting epic hotdish competitions when Iowa is mentioned. And yes, there might even be a few jokes about having more cornfields than people.

Of course, there are plenty of corn fields, and the pace of life may be a little slower, but there are a few cities and other crops in the state too. So, the world’s view of what Iowans look like is a little too cartoonishly stereotypical. Maybe they should plan a visit to see what Iowa is really like!

Sure — wearing big hats, sipping bourbon, and expertly playing the banjo are all things Kentuckians show pride in. But, just because they’re proud of these traditions doesn’t mean they all look the same!

Maybe this image is accurate regarding the older generation of Kentuckians. Still, the state has a diverse population of many races and ages, so we hope our European friends don’t expect them all to look this rural!

Aloha! Surfing, hula dancing, poi, and stunning sunsets are all things that can be found in the beautiful paradise known as Hawaii! The people are all smiling, friendly, and love a good spam musubi, right?

Certainly, it must be a pretty chill place to live, so we can all understand why Europeans envision this type of person when asked what the natives of the islands look like. In truth, it’s what mainlanders think too…

The Peach State — the moniker says it all and is an inspiration. We’re sure that’s what foreigners imagine when they think of the state and its inhabitants! They probably think everyone is sitting on a front porch swing with a fan and sipping sweet tea, too!

Bless their hearts! It’s not all peaches and sweet tea when you live in Georgia. Georgians would love for people to understand that! Peachy keen, we think so!

We guess it might depend on what part of Florida you ask these people about when it comes to the natives. This image looks like maybe they asked about the panhandle! If they had asked about Miami, we’re sure it would have led to someone with a better tan!

It’s clear that they think that Florida is full of some fun-loving but slightly wacky people. If that doesn’t describe people from the panhandle, we don’t know what does! Honestly, though, you wouldn’t have to look far to find a few oddballs, but it’s not the rule.

Delaware is the land of charming “tax-free” shopping and taking leisurely strolls on the boardwalks. And yes, they’ll playfully tease you about their small size but big impact. But, this image seems to be a bit outdated, doesn’t it?

Yes, we’re sure Delaware has some pretty good seafood, but the kitchens definitely have more modern conveniences! They have stoves and microwaves, so maybe the people who asked about this should update their stereotypes!

What are Connecticutters like? This question might have you picturing people sporting pastel sweaters, sipping lattes on their yachts, and casually dropping references to Ivy League schools. And don’t forget their affinity for lobster rolls and hedge funds.

This couple seems to be pretty straight-laced and maybe even a little boring! If this is what people think about Connecticutters, no wonder many people don’t put it at the top of their vacation destination lists!

It looks like many foreigners picture the folks of Arkansas proudly donning overalls, sipping tea on a hot day, and effortlessly mastering the art of fried everything. They also seem to understand the folk’s love for razorback hogs and picturesque rural landscapes.

But, they seem to feel that the folks in Arkansas are a little too farm ready and maybe even a little rugged. We’re sure they might be pretty surprised to see that people from this state come in different personalities and styles!

Cheese, cheese, and more cheese! Even if you are not from the States, you know Wisconsin is the land of cheese and cold winters. Oh yeah, and who can forget their passion for football and brewed drinks?

Knowing this, we can easily understand why this is what foreigners think Wisconsinites look like! But, even in a state that’s so into cheese, some people live a healthy lifestyle — and that’s something we hope foreigners understand!

Vermont elicits images of sweet maple syrup. Or maybe images of digging into a pint of Cherry Garcia Ben & Jerry’s ice cream! It’s a state that’s kind of like the Oregon of the East Coast for some!

The image here is definitely one that could be of a picture snapped on any street in Vermont. But, the state isn’t only populated by hippies and sustainable living proponents!

Take a moment and really think about what even a typical American might envision when asked what Tennesseans look like! Just like people from outside the US, you might imagine them strumming guitars, belting out soulful tunes, and having a secret recipe for finger-lickin’ good BBQ.

Thanks to Hollywood, we’re sure these people think everyone in Tennessee lives in a shack and has their own still to make moonshine! Though there’s plenty of truth in the image, the state also has a wealth of other people within its borders!

South Carolina has hot summers that sizzle like shrimp on a grill! So, swinging on the porch with a nice cold beverage in hand is a way of life there! So too, is a love for all things football — but only if it’s one of the many great college teams!

It makes sense that this is what people see when they imagine a native from South Carolina. It’s pretty accurate, so maybe South Carolina needs to make itself known for more than just that passion for sports!

Well, some might think Oklahomans are all a bunch of cowboys and cowgirls, riding horses and twirling lassos like pros. Others might picture them living in tornado-proof bunkers, chasing tornadoes for fun. But hey, there’s more than just boots and cyclones in the beautiful state of Oklahoma, you know?

Apparently not to the folks over in Europe, though. Or at least that’s how it looks if this is an accurate AI depiction of what they imagine of when they think of Oklahoma!

Spending time on the beach, sippin’ a cold beverage, and perfecting a sweet southern drawl. These are just a few images that might come to mind if you’re thinking about the people and life in North Carolina. Oh yeah, and don’t forget NASCAR races, barbecuing in the yard, and dodging deer on the way to work.

That is what most people in the US think, at least. Those living in Europe appear to have a much more conservative view. They clearly haven’t been affected by all the American television shows…

Missourians are clearly expert BBQ enthusiasts, with sauce in their veins and ribs on their minds 24/7. If not that, then they have to be pros at spotting cow-tipping opportunities, right? No, our friends, they’re more than just smoky flavors and rural adventures!

It’s clear that Europeans have a very definitive image of what life is like in Missouri. We don’t know how to feel about that, but we do know that barbecue looks pretty good!

There’s no place like home! People in Kansas spend all their time clicking their heels and dreaming of tornadoes whisking them away to Oz, right? Maybe they spent their time skipping through sunflower fields looking for the munchkins or eating their weight in cotton candy at the local fair!

It’s easy to imagine this when you think of Kansas. But, the truth is much less exciting… though there are fields of sunflowers and other crops you could skip through and plenty of fairs to enjoy!

Corn and cows, are we right? That’s what is going on in Indiana, for sure! Tons of cowboys and cowgirls herding cattle while trying to find their way out of the endless fields. That’s all there is in Indiana!

Or at least that is kind of the image Europeans have, we guess. This large family hanging out for a family portrait in the cornfield is a little much, though!

People in Colorado are all mountain-dwelling, granola-munching outdoor enthusiasts, climbing peaks and skiing like pros. Colorado is beautiful, and the people are more than nature junkies and laid-back hippies, right?

There are also ecological activists and just normal people there, too! But, with as much wonder and beauty, we can understand why people think everyone in Colorado is nature hiking crazy people!

Scorching heat! Cacti! Vast desert landscapes with coyotes and rattlesnakes roaming through them. Welcome to Arizona, right? The people that live here are either super into dry heat or retired!

That’s possibly true, but Europeans see more. This image says it all! They think that Arizonans enjoy cruising through the desert on their motorcycles. Doesn’t sound like a bad way to spend a day!

Have you seen Deliverance? If you have, then you might think of West Virginians as moonshine-sippin’, banjo-strummin’ hillbillies living in cabins tucked away in the woods. But, that’s far from the truth!

It seems that although there are beautiful landscapes and some pretty epic hikes, this is all anyone thinks about the people that call this state home. Just check out this AI-generated image… exhibit A.

Every place is known for something. In Ohio’s case, it’s Cleveland. This metropolis is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which makes sense being that Cleveland is famous for its vibrant art and music scenes.

But, you didn’t actually think we’d forget about all the sports teams, did you? Of course not — Ohio and its residents are sports-obsessed! From the looks of it, Europeans also think people here love food and they’re not wrong, but this photo representation might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Some might think New Yorkers are all decked out in designer suits, juggling stock portfolios and court briefs like pros. They have got plenty of pizza cravings and subway adventures, too! After all, the people and the state are more than just money-making moguls and legal eagles, folks!

There’s so much going on in the state that the idea that this is all people think of when they think of New Yorkers is kind of sad. There are so many cultures and things to experience. We hope they learn that stereotypes are not what make the state!

Mississippi may elicit images of river boats, gambling, catfish fries, and BBQ sauce. These are all wonderful traditions and things to experience, but it’s not only what foreigners envision when thinking about this southern state!

Apparently, they focus more on the religious aspect of these people. We’re sure not everyone is angry and gets all riled up when they go to church on Sundays!

Maybe the only thing that some think exists in Illinois is Chicago! So, deep dish and horrible streets may tinge what they think the people are like in Illinois. We’re sure that the rich culinary traditions overpower the people’s thoughts.

That is especially evident when we look at this image. Sure, the food is good, but not everyone stuffs their mouths every chance they get in Illinois!

Do you want to surf to work, wear flip-flops and shades 24/7, all after chowing down on avocado toast and experiencing celebrity sightings every day? California has an image across the globe…liberal lifestyles and casual days at the beach.

This image may be a little too accurate and a little stereotypical for our taste. But, if that’s what they think California is all about, we guess there’s nothing that can change their mind. California dreaming…

Alaska is a unique state, for sure. Not having sunlight for months inundated with beautiful snow is definitely a place for special people. After all, what type of person loves bundling up with several layers, even in May and April?

The image that the AI-generated is maybe one of the most accurate ones of them all. We’re sure this could be a picture in Alaska on anyone’s camera roll!

Everyone in Washington is an expert coffee drinker, sipping lattes while hiking through rainforests. We just hope they don’t forget their umbrella. After all, it never stops raining, right?

Though Washington does get quite a bit of rain and is Starbucks’ home state, the state is more than just those two things. We wish that foreigners would understand that. Though their ideas certainly do make for a humorous image!

New Mexico has a very special image when it comes to the country and the world in general! That is especially true with the popularity of shows like Breaking Bad — now, not only are there UFOs, but it’s also home to tons of illicit activities.

Even so, the state also has a large Native American community and art-centric cities like Santa Fe. That, of course, doesn’t make its rounds around the world!

Minnesota is a Midwest state known for its fun accent and cold winters! That would have made sense if the image portrayed that but instead, for some reason, these people are into huge pots of chili.

Maybe they think that the folks in Minnesota are into family gatherings and have large families. One thing is for sure Europeans think the Minnesotans are very happy! We’re sure they are but for more reasons than just food, okay!

Many southern states suffer from negative stereotypes. Though this may be true in some places, not all of them look like the classic redneck image in Alabama!

Unfortunately, because of movies and the news, that is the image people from other countries seem to believe. This guy looks a little scary, for sure! But, it’s still not cool that this is what everyone thinks of Alabamans!

Folks from Europe might picture potato-worshiping individuals who like to live a little off the grid. They might assume everyone is communing with nature and befriending grizzly bears. And let’s not forget the iconic image of Idahoans herding potatoes instead of sheep.

But hey, people in Idaho are more than just tuber lovers and wilderness enthusiasts. There are vibrant cities, breathtaking landscapes, and a whole lot more than meets the eye.

Ah, let’s have a laugh! Our European friends might think of Jersey folks as walking, talking episodes of “Jersey Shore,” perpetually fist-pumping and tanning on the beach. Maybe they think New Jersey natives communicate solely through dramatic hand gestures and “fuhgeddaboudit” catchphrases.

Apparently, these people do see the natives of New Jersey as spaghetti-loving messes! But New Jersey has beautiful shorelines, diverse cities, and some killer pizza (not just pasta). So, Europeans, maybe visit Jersey and see that there’s more to it than the stereotypes!

This picture shows us what our European friends think of people living in Michigan. They clearly are professional pothole slalom racers, swerving through the streets like Formula 1 champs, but also that they’re into their sports and maybe like a chili dog or five.

That, of course, is just a small part of what happens in Michigan. So we wish they would visit to actually see it, not what they think! We promise you will enjoy your time there. Just try to do it in the springtime so you don’t have to wade through feet of snow!

Here’s a light-hearted trip to Europe and what they imagine New Hampshirites being like! They might envision them as nature-loving hermits, living in cozy log cabins and befriending moose as our neighbors.

Surely, they imagine them as expert syrup tappers with maple trees in their backyards. Clearly, they see them enjoying a few bowls of chowder while having a good time!

How about those Bay Staters in Massachusetts? They are, for sure, die-hard sports fanatics, arguing about the Red Sox and Patriots while sipping Dunkin’ iced coffees. They have those thick Boston accents, dropping our R’s like hot potatoes.

And surely, they imagine us staging historical reenactments in our daily lives, reliving the Boston Tea Party at every tea break. This image, though, makes it seem like all people in Massachusetts are angry. They do smile, you know! They’re wicked nice friends, we promise!

Gambling and aliens! Isn’t that what Nevada is all about? From casinos to Area 51, there is an image that Nevada evokes that may not be completely accurate! First off, friends, you have to know there’s more to Nevada than Las Vegas!

We think that the people that answered this survey don’t know that. In fact, most people who live in Nevada hate casinos and try to steer clear of them as much as possible. We know, shocker!

Are Marylanders crab-obsessed wizards, with Old Bay seasoning running through their veins and crab mallets as our wands? Maybe they communicate exclusively in seafood puns and have a secret society dedicated to perfecting crab cake recipes.

The image of them constantly on the hunt for blue crabs, armed with butter and mallets, might come to mind. It seems that’s for sure the case, as you can see from this image.

Hey there Cornhusker! Are you ready to see what people think of you? Well, you’re definitely not going to be surprised! They seem to think you all sit in houses packed with corn cobs! Every food is derived from corn too!

This is not true, of course, and we know that — but foreigners don’t know any better. They don’t know you have stunning landscapes and tons of culture! Maybe they’ll learn that someday!

Europeans picture rugged lobster trappers sporting flannel shirts and bean boots while reciting sea shanties. They envision them communicating solely through grunts and nods, like true lumberjacks.

But friends, people from Maine are more than just lobster aficionados and winter warriors. They have stunning coastlines, picturesque lighthouses, and a wicked sense of humor. So, before you judge, maybe you should be a little more open-minded!
