ChatGPT's Ghibli filter is political now - but it always was
Briefly

The White House recently caused a stir by posting a contentious ChatGPT meme that accompanied a photo of a crying detainee, showcasing a fentanyl trafficker. This was coupled with an AI-generated cartoon in a style reminiscent of Studio Ghibli, which has flooded online platforms. Critics argue the post trivializes serious issues and demonstrates a troubling trend where callousness prevails in political messaging. There are ethical concerns regarding the use of generative AI for such serious subjects, which could desensitize the public and distort the gravity of the issues at hand.
The White House's attempt to use a ChatGPT meme highlighted a troubling trend where power and callousness are sometimes prioritized over basic decency in political communications.
While generative AI tools can be entertaining, the White House's merging of a serious issue with an AI-generated cartoon raises ethical questions about the use of technology in political messaging.
