AI memes flood social media mocking Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over affair

Jensen Huang, the Nvidia CEO who has led the global AI revolution, has become the subject of a wave of AI-generated parody memes. Since he acknowledged an extramarital affair, social media has been flooded with deepfake images and videos featuring his likeness, crafted with AI tools.

The most widely shared clip is a 13-second fake "kiss cam" video showing Huang embracing a woman from behind on a concert venue screen — an AI-generated recreation of last year's incident in which the CEO of US software firm Astronomer was caught on camera with a woman who was not his wife at a Coldplay concert. The footage looks like genuine event video but is entirely fabricated.

Film parodies have also proliferated. The romantic film "500 Days of Summer" has been reimagined as "500 Days of Chips," recasting the iconic elevator scene — in which a woman asks a headphone-wearing man whether he likes The Smiths — as an AI meme featuring Huang.

AI-generated clips pairing Huang with Alice Huang, identified as the other party in the affair, have also gone viral. One video recreates singer Hyuna's "Trouble Maker" stage performance, with Alice Huang and Jensen Huang performing a provocative couples dance. The clip includes a cameo of AMD CEO Lisa Su, shown covering her mouth with both hands as if stunned by the spectacle.

A parody using Apple's foldable smartphone has also made the rounds: when the phone is folded, Huang appears alongside his wife, but unfolding the screen reveals Alice Huang beside him. The "distracted boyfriend" meme — in which a man walking with his girlfriend turns to look at another woman passing by — has been adapted with Huang's face as well.

Most of the videos were made using AI tools. Many online observers have noted the irony: the Nvidia GPUs that dominate the AI semiconductor market are now being used to produce content mocking the company's own CEO. The man who helped drive the AI revolution has become the star of memes made with the very technology he championed.

Reactions online have ranged from wry to cutting. "He made AI chips and now he's suffering for it," wrote one user. Others quipped, "He built AI chips and got burned by AI," "Trouble upon trouble," and "He was told to make chips — turns out he made a mistress instead."
