Melania Trump has left the internet stunned after sharing a bizarre AI-generated video of herself.

The first lady, who rarely makes public appearances or political speeches, recently spoke about the need to prepare children for an AI-driven future.

Last month, she said at a White House event that “robots are here” and warned that “our future is no longer science fiction.”

Highlights
  • Melania Trump left social media users scratching their heads with a mysterious AI hologram video of herself.
  • The first lady recently spoke about the need to treat AI “with watchful guidance.”
  • It comes after the former model launched her own official meme coin, $Melania.

    After launching her meme coin, the mother-of-one urged parents to be cautious about exposing their children to technology, advising them to treat AI “with watchful guidance.”

    Now, Melania has reignited the conspiracy theory that she could soon be replaced by AI.

    The theory, which originated during Donald Trump’s first term, claims that Melania is occasionally substituted at public events by a woman who closely resembles her.  Believers point to supposed physical differences, often concealed by large hats and sunglasses, between the real and the “fake” Melania.

    They also argue that the “fake” Melania behaves in a way that the real one would not, showing more affection toward the president and holding his hand.

    Though Trump has dismissed the wild claim as “fake news,” some users believe they have found new evidence in a recent video shared by Melania on X/Twitter.

    The video has reignited the wild “fake Melania” conspiracy that first made waves back in 2017, but with a twist

    The clip, originally posted by the account @TrueMELANIAmeme, shows Melania in Trump Tower appearing in the form of a hologram. 

    She reposted the 10-second video with the caption “Into the future.”

    The computer-generated version of Melania wears a classic navy trench coat and mimics her movements, staring blankly at the camera.

    No context was provided for the video, which has been viewed more than a million times and has drawn thousands of comments.

    “Sure are showing us a lot of hologram stuff. What is she trying to tell us?” one user asked.

    Melania Trump has sparked speculation she will send a hologram to future public appearances after she posted an AI-generated video of herself,” typed a second.

    “Teleportation now? wow everything is coming out!” a third wrote, while a fourth exclaimed, “You have GOT to be s*itting me.”

    TrueMELANIAmeme, the account that originally posted the video, includes a link to purchase a cryptocurrency described on its website as “the official meme coin of Melania Trump.”

    Donald Trump himself has also leaned on AI, even posting a cinematic self-portrait

    In January, CNN reported that Melania and Trump had launched a pair of meme coins days before the presidential inauguration.

    Meme coins are a type of cryptocurrency inspired by popular internet or cultural trends. They are highly volatile, meaning that their prices can soar or plummet very quickly and unpredictably.

    The president has also used artificial intelligence to create videos and images for social media. In August, he turned to AI to generate an image of himself inspired by the film Apocalypse Now, posing as Robert Duvall’s character, Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore. 

    He captioned the post “Chipocalypse Now” and accompanied it with a note mentioning his plan to bring the National Guard to Chicago.

    Much of Melania’s public engagements have been focused on the well-being of children, building on a previous “Be Best” initiative created during Trump’s first term, which aimed to combat cyberbullying.

    In addition to her recent work on AI, she played a key role in advancing the Take It Down Act, which criminalized posting “intimate images,” real or AI-generated, online without an individual’s consent, as per the BBC.

    “First ladies do usually focus on realms that are seen as more feminine, such as children and education. Things that have been historically gendered,” Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, a historian who focuses on first ladies, told the outlet. 

    Melania previously declared that “our future is no longer science fiction”

    According to Rabinovitch-Fox, Melania has offered a twist on that tradition. “It’s not coming from the motherly, feminine side of it. But more from the business side of it.”

    As an example, she pointed to the Take It Down Act, which is heavily focused on the platforms that host revenge p*rn, requiring that they remove any intimate content posted without an individual’s consent within 48 hours or face penalties.

    Additionally, at her September AI event, which was focused on education, the 55-year-old was joined by cabinet members, administration officials, and representatives from IBM and Google.

    Social media users couldn’t stop talking about Melania’s futuristic clip

    This is probably some bling-bling fluff to distract people from what's going on. What is Melania trying to tell us? Easy - "look at me, don't look at what my husband is doing (to your country)".

    I think that she's trying to tell us that every day and in every way she's grifting. Just like her husband.

    "I really don't care. Do U?" - Melanoma Trump's jacket while photo-oping migrant children who were separated from their parents and caged in a concentration camp during the Doturd's first term. That's all one needs to know about that scսm.
