Just moments after being "caught" using AI to fabricate real person images, the official social media account of the White House once again made a blunder with an AI-generated image.

On January 23 local time, the White House's official account on the social media platform X posted an AI-generated image attempting to promote the so-called "takeover" of Greenland by the U.S. government. In the image, President Trump is seen holding hands with a penguin holding an American flag, walking through the snow toward a Greenlandic flag. The White House captioned the post as "Hug the Penguin."

However, this image has already been mocked by many netizens. Many internet users stated that there are no penguins in Greenland, which is located in the Arctic. Previously, the renowned American magazine National Geographic had published an article in 2020 specifically debunking the myth, stating, "There are no penguins in the Arctic." Many netizens sarcastically commented, "There's a reason for science education," "This is why Europeans have always questioned whether it's illegal to receive education in the United States," and "Who will tell the White House that there are no penguins in Greenland? Obviously, they are just that ignorant."

Interestingly, many netizens also created their own content in the comments section. For example, one user used AI to generate an image of Trump walking side by side with a polar bear and captioned it, "I think this image better fits the regional characteristics." Another netizen posted an image of a penguin walking towards the White House in the snow.

Images posted by foreign netizens

According to reports from foreign media such as CNN, it was previously reported that a photo posted by the White House's social media account was found to be AI-fabricated.

It is introduced that the woman in the photo is named Nekima Levy Armstrong, a lawyer and social activist.

After this incident sparked heated discussions, the White House still did not delete the forged photo. Moreover, its social media account posted a new message stating, "Law enforcement will continue, and internet memes will continue (to be posted)," which seems to be a response to this incident.
