Trump Outlaws Ghibli-Style AI Pics Of JD Vance

OpenAI just added advanced image generation to ChatGPT 4.0, making it finally powerful enough to generate the highest expression of visual art: Studio Ghibli-style pictures of JD Vance.

But not everyone’s happy about this gift from God. In response, Donald Trump has issued an executive order outlawing any AI-generated memes of an anime JD Vance. Like this one, for example:

Ghibli Vance — (…Oh, shit, delete, DELETE!)

Posting on Truth Social, Trump explained:

“I hereby FORBID the use of ChatGPT to make JD VANCE AN ASIAN MAN. JD VANCE IS NOT AN ASIAN MAN!!!! The so-called failing ‘Studio Ghibli’ (which has not made a good movie since Porco Rosso) is trying to take away our national identity and greatest Vice President in history just because he has the face of a little baby child. NO MORE WHITE ERASURE!”

Anyone caught posting a Ghibli-fied Vance could face up to six months in jail, a fine of $14,000, and a restraining order against the Vice President.

Ad-Vance-d AI

In related news, Studio Ghibli has clapped back against the trend, threatening to sue OpenAI for plagiarism, which is unfair because everyone knows that plagiarism isn’t plagiarism when it’s AI. Any lawyer will tell you so.

In response to the potential suit, OpenAI responded with a hostile takeover bid against the Japanese animation house.

The purchase is likely to go through as OpenAI just finished its latest funding round, which gathered over $4 billion, and now the company doesn’t know what to do with all that money.

OpenAI has already laid out the future for Studio Ghibli, with plans to rebrand as ‘Studio GPT’ and release entirely AI-generated movies in an MCU-style interconnected universe beginning with a theatrical version of Vance’s adventures in ‘My Neighbor JD’.

Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki responded positively to the takeover, saying of AI, “I am utterly disgusted… I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” So, double thumbs up there.
