U.S. President Donald Trump posted a photo on his official page showing him standing next to an alien in handcuffs. In other photos he has posted, he appears to be in command of something resembling Star Wars. All of these images were generated by artificial intelligence.
Photo with an alien
U.S. President Donald Trump has turned his attention to the space industry once again. However, this has nothing to do with maintaining adequate funding for NASA; rather, it involves a post on his official page on the social media platform Truth, featuring an image of him walking alongside a creature with dark, oily-looking skin, dark eyes, a large head, and handcuffs.
Of course, this photo—which also features people in dark suits and sunglasses, along with some strange buildings that look like they’re in a desert—is meant to depict Trump escorting a captured alien. And, of course, it’s an AI-generated image.
In addition, other images have appeared on Trump’s official page. In one of them, he is sitting at what looks like a futuristic control console, with spacecraft in the background firing laser weapons at each other and exploding. In another, wearing a grim and menacing expression, he is pressing a big red button. And once again, everything explodes.
Why is Trump doing this?
Obviously, a post by Trump or the person managing his social media account doesn’t mean that the U.S. president has actually captured an alien or is waging space wars. He had previously posted numerous statements and images under his own name on multiple occasions, which he later had to delete because the public reaction to them was a mix of laughter and outrage.
The logical reaction to such posts is to ask: How normal is it for the US president—arguably the most influential political figure in the world—to post AI-generated nonsense? How seriously can we take him after that?
But it seems Trump is really into the topic of aliens. It came up back in February, when Barack Obama said in an interview that he believed in their existence. Trump tried to make himself seem mysterious at the time, saying that he knew nothing about it, but that his predecessor had revealed some terrible secret.
On May 8, documents related to UFO sightings were released following an order from the U.S. president. There has been a lot of talk about them as being sensational, but in reality, there is practically nothing noteworthy in them. And now these AI-generated photos are appearing. And Trump’s statements make it clear that this won’t be the last sensationalist story about aliens that he’ll try to hype up in an effort to boost his own approval ratings.
