The White House mocked this Thursday, March 27, a Dominican migrant who cried when he was arrested, through a meme similar to those carried out with artificial intelligence that flood social networks and recreate the style of Studio Ghibli.
In the cartoon, published in the social network X, a handcuffing woman is observed who cries inconsolably and wears gray tracksuit pants, tight black sweater and a grid on the head as a headdress. Beside him, an agent with green Belfing observes it with serious countenance. In the background, an American flag.
The meme is accompanied by a text from the White House, dated March 18, entitled: Fentanyl detainee trafficker. “Virginia Basora-González, a previously deported and condemned foreign offender for fentanyl traffic, was arrested” by members of the Customs Immigration and Control Service (ICE) in Philadelphia (North) “after illegally entering the US.”
Two photographs of the migrant with handcuffed hands are also included. In one of them seems to cry.
By clicking on the text, you can access the full message: He cried when they arrested her (attached photo)writes the US government, in full crusade against illegal immigration.
With this meme, the White House seems to join the viral phenomenon of using artificial intelligence to recreate scenes with Studio Ghibli style, known worldwide for films such as Chihiro’s trip, My neighbor Totoro either THE BOY AND THE GARZA.
The Chatgpt update, a model of artificial intelligence language developed by OpenAI, includes an image generator that allows recreating the characteristic style of the prestigious Japanese animation study.
Internet users have used the new tool to recreate famous scenes or self -portrait.
US President Donald Trump does not escape this viral trend. In some memes he is seen after the attempt of an attack he suffered during the electoral campaign or in full verbal altercation with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelenski, in the White House.
One of his closest advisors, the technological tycoon Elon Musk, joined fashion in his x account with an image in which he appears as the rafiki character of The lion kingtriumphantly holding Doge.
