Elliot Higgins, founder of British investigative news agency Bellingcat , said, ``As of March 21, 2023, Trump was arrested before he was actually arrested under criminal charges. I generated an image that would be useful,” and posted on Twitter that he used MidJourney V5 to generate about 50 images that make it look like Mr. Trump is resisting arrest or that he has been imprisoned.

These images posted by Mr. Higgins have been viewed more than 5.2 million times as being particularly popular, but one user told Mr. Higgins, ``To prevent people from getting confused, the images generated by the image generation AI should be watermarked to indicate that it is not an actual photo.'




Midjourney issued Higgins on March 22, 2023 from the viewpoint that the images generated by Mr. Higgins violated the terms of service ``Do not use images or text prompts that are offensive or otherwise abusive to others''. I have taken a disposition to ban Mr. Also, at the time of writing, Midjourney prohibits the use of prompts containing the word 'arrest' and the names of past presidents, including 'Donald Trump.'



Higgins told news media BuzzFeed News, ``This is the result of trying various prompts to see what Midjourney V5 can do and how complex images it can generate.'' Higgins also commented on the posted image, ``Many of the reactions to the image have been positive, but some Trump supporters have been angry. But I don't mean to criticize Trump. was.”

In addition, Mr. Higgins told the news media Ars Technica, ``The most impressive thing about this series of posts is that many people did not know the existence or function of image generation AI like Midjourney.'' ``My post made people aware of what kinds of images the image generation AI can forge,'' he said. He also points out, 'If fake images generated using celebrities are banned, why is image generation AI learning using celebrity datasets?'
