The proompt
North Korea has been the subject of much scrutiny in the western world since its inception. As a result, the country is often used as a textbook example of a dictatorship and of evil itself. For example, there have been accusations of North Koreans being forced to push passenger trains as part of daily transit despite that not making any sense. It is nonsensical to the point of being humorous.

I love this one because not only is it true it's just a normal fact about the country and almost every other country out there.
“Did you know that in North Korea, their national sport is synchronized clapping? They even have an annual championship where citizens compete to see who can clap the loudest and most in sync.”
That one always stands out to me on KCNA videos. I don't know if they're reusing the same sound effect or what but the applause is big uncanny valley for me.
Oh sorry, I asked it to only generate false ones. That one’s actually true. I’ll ask OpenAI to add a disclaimer.

In North Korea, whenever Leader posts everyone gets a notification on your phone, whatever you’re doing, you have to stop and run to your phone and upvote leaders post within 5 minutes or they will come and shoot you dead.
People keep their RedStar phones next to the shower so they don’t miss a notification
my uncle did not upvote one time and he was torn apart by kim's elite catboys
