Amid President Trump's recently announced trade tariffs, an artificial intelligence-generated video of Americans working in factories has gone viral on Chinese social media. The video has now made its way to Western social media platforms, where it has garnered quite a lot of attention.
The video has been copied and reshared on various social media platforms and shows a satirical take on what American people look like working in factories. The video was titled "Make America Great Again," a clear nod to President Trump's campaign slogan. It depicts overweight people working in what appears to be sweatshops, making various items of clothing and smartphones. The AI-generated people in the video also look miserable.
The timing of the AI-generated video mocking Americans comes only days after President Trump announced heavy tariffs on China, along with numerous other countries.

It appears China is attempting to show Americans what the future holds for them with this satirical AI generated video.
As for the tariffs, Trump has smacked the nation with a 104% import tax on all Chinese goods that will come into effect at midnight US time.
