A new U.S Postal Service stamp featuring former First Lady and Rye native Barbara Bush is expected to be unveiled at The White House on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Since an image of the new stamp was not available, MyRye.com asked ChatGPT and DALL-E to generate images what the stamp might look like (with a Rye, NY spin). To be clear, this was generated from an AI prompt is not an image of a real stamp.
