The Coin Republic's AI generated flag fail

The Coin Republic's failure to verify the correct flags in their profile images leaves this author questioning the validity of the rest of their content.

Over at The Coin Republic, I assume a popular crypto currency news site, they clearly use OpenAI's DALLE 2 (or some other derivative) to generate their post images.

I came across the following two articles which talks about trading crypto currencies in South Africa and how South Korea have recently passed a new cryptocurrency bill.

If you don't spot the obvious mistake let me assist. Here is the flag for South Korea:

And here is the flag for South Africa:

It's an honest mistake, but truthfully, when a news publication neglects to verify the authenticity of the images they include in their posts, it causes me to question the credibility of the entirety of their articles.
