Title: Little Pink’s Spiritual Victory: AI synthesized Messi apology video
New Tang Dynasty News, Beijing time, February 25, 2024 – Chinese netizens recently took matters into their own hands by using artificial intelligence (AI) to synthesize a video of Argentinian football superstar, Messi, wearing a Tang suit and apologizing to Chinese fans. Despite Messi’s real video explanation on Weibo, the fans, especially the Chinese “Little Pink” supporters, were still not satisfied and demanded an apology. The AI-generated video received positive feedback and even a sense of victory from the fans, as Messi was seen apologizing and expressing his remorse for not playing in a friendly match in Hong Kong.
In a discussion panel on News Five, questions were raised about the Chinese Communist Party’s response and whether they would continue to ban Messi. The panel highlighted similarities between the Messi incident and a previous issue involving an NBA manager, suggesting that the CCP’s stance may soften in the future. While the video may indicate a step towards reconciliation, the lack of a direct apology from Messi may continue to fuel discussion and expectations from fans.
Additionally, the panel also touched on China’s economy, which is currently facing challenges, prompting the Communist Party leader to announce new measures to boost the economy. The move, which includes promoting large-scale equipment updates and reducing logistics costs, raised eyebrows among the panelists. The discussion surfaced concerns about the effectiveness of these strategies and whether they can address the deeper structural issues affecting the economy.
As the conversation shifted to the upcoming Year of the Dragon and the expected baby boom in China, concerns were raised about the long-term implications of the country’s population decline. The panelists highlighted factors such as the impact of the one-child policy, the high cost of raising children, and the weaknesses in China’s social welfare system as key challenges that need to be addressed.
Despite the diverse perspectives and opinions shared during the panel discussion, one thing remained clear – the collision of ideas and viewpoints provided a rich insight into the complex world of news and current affairs.
