Following the news of Joe Biden’s reelection announcement, Republican party members have apparently released an AI-generated attack ad that has quickly gone viral. A screenshot from the ad shows Biden sitting at his desk with an elbow that does not quite connect with the tabletop, adding to the eeriness of the image. Moreover, what makes the advertisement all the more interesting is the technology behind its creation.
While most AI image generators such as Midjourney and DALL-E are cautious about creating overtly political images, most of the images in the ad are generic enough to be produced without breaking any rule. However, it is worth mentioning that both Midjourney and DALL-E have certain limitations have been imposed by them. For example, while Midjourney puts a ban on the creation of images of Xi Jinping to minimized drama, DALL-E has also banned the use of the term “arrested.”
When it comes to Midjourney and DALL-E, the two companies have emerged as the pioneers in AI Image Generation technology. Midjourney is well known for its deep learning platform that enables businesses to create highly personalized and AI-driven visuals at a massive scale. On the other hand, DALL-E is a top-tier image manipulation and image generation tool. It enables users to create sophisticated visuals instantly using deep learning and AI.
Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States and assumed office on January 2021 after a highly competitive election campaign. Following his victory, his focus has been on tackling several issues plaguing the country such as the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in foreign relations, and initiating efforts to counter climate change. Biden’s tenure has been mostly successful so far and the attack ad released by Republicans is just a part of the politics of smear campaigns often seen in such scenarios.
