The White House's recent social media approach has raised eyebrows after it celebrated the capture of Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, a deported felon, using AI-generated imagery reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's work. Initial posts featured her in distress during her arrest, while follow-up posts included an animated reinterpretation, highlighting a shift in how governmental communication is engaging with popular culture and internet trends. The remark from Deputy Communications Director suggests this trend will persist, underscoring a departure from traditional political messaging.
The White House account posted about Basora-Gonzalez again yesterday-this time, rendering her capture in the animated style of the beloved Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki.
It's worth pausing here: The internet has been flooded with AI-generated images in this exact Studio Ghibli style.
