A video in which president Donald Trump arrests Lula da Silva (PT) was generated with artificial intelligence. The content was shared through TikTok and shows the Brazilian president with handcuffs, in a prisoner jumpsuit and surrounded by police officers in front of the Brazilian Congress while the american president announces his arrest in portuguese. “Hello Brazilian people, I am ready to pick up Lula. If you agree, follow me”, he says. 

The video has synthetic characteristics such as plastic aspect, differences in the politicians appearance and robotic movements. It was also published by a profile dedicated to producing AI-generated content.
