'Trump Gaza' AI video creators say they don't want to be the president's 'propaganda machine'


Co-creators Solo Avital and Ariel Vromen said they’re not sure how their video made its way to the president and that the video was meant to be satirical.

On Feb. 4, during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested that the U.S. could relocate Palestinians, at least temporarily, to other countries, and “level the site” to create a “Riviera of the Middle East.” The video, completed on Feb. 6 according to records Avital and Vromen showed NBC News, delivered on that vision, with absurd depictions of Elon Musk eating pita, Trump sipping tropical drinks shirtless with Netanyahu, and dollar bills raining down on Palestinian children. Avital and Vromen, who are from Israel and now live in the United States, each said the video was satire, taking Trump’s proposal and pushing it to an extreme level of imagination, but it wasn’t necessarily critical.
