AI tools Jensen Huang championed now star in memes of his downfall
Online content creators are capitalizing on Huang's scandalous week by posting scores of AI-generated memes making light of his extramarital affairs.
Once a leading advocate for artificial intelligence, Nvidia Corp. chief executive Jensen Huang is now the subject of a burgeoning meme craze. Online content creators are exploiting the former CEO's scandalous week by producing a plethora of AI-generated memes, making fun of his alleged extramarital affairs. In these videos, Huang can be seen dancing to viral TikTok trends or appearing in scenes from classic films like Love Actually alongside Alice Huang, the woman suspected of being a Chinese spy and the rumored affair partner. His ouster from the company he led for three decades is also a recurring theme in these memes.
Henry Ajder, an AI and deepfakes expert, commented on the irony of Huang being targeted by tools powered by his own creations. He noted the sheer volume of content generated rapidly across social media platforms, describing it as unprecedented. While he could not provide an exact count, Ajder was particularly impressed by the quality and realism of the Huang-related posts.
One video, created by a London-based content creator, showed AI-generated Huang dancing to Jason Derulo's hit Mi Chico in the parking lot outside Nvidia's headquarters. The clip, which included AI stand-ins for Alice Huang, Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell, and his wife Lori Huang, has garnered over 65,000 shares and 2 million views since it was posted on Thursday.
Another creator, Muhammad Adhitya, a 23-year-old from Indonesia, started a new Instagram account dedicated to Huang after being inspired by Claude Opus 5.5, an AI tool. Using Nvidia-backed AI video and image creation platform Higgsfield, Adhitya generated 15 videos about Huang, which have collectively attracted over 1.4 million views.
The creator expressed surprise and happiness at the widespread acclaim, noting that the account is still relatively new. The sheer variety and uncanny realism of the Huang-related memes underscore how real-world scandals can quickly be transformed into online entertainment, often drawing parallels to a James Bond movie.
