How to create political memes with AI image generators

Innovation wins. Learn how to create memes with AI image generators. It’s fast, free and fun.

“AI image generators convert a text input to produce striking visuals. The results range from hyper-realistic to entertaining, giving users the ability to generate an image of anything they can fit into a text prompt.” – Jasper

AI image generators like GPT-3, DALL·E translate the words you enter into corresponding images with ‘artificial intelligence‘. You pick the one you like best from the variations presented and can refine it further by adding more words to your image description. – OpenAI

How AI image generators work

How to create Political Memes with an AI bot

We experimented with Midjourney to create these images in an hour. It’s simple.
Enter the description of the image you’d like to generate. We chose ‘MAGA‘.
Refine your description to generate a meme that is closer to what you have in mind.
Ask the bot to create variations of an image or change the style. We asked the bot to convert the image into a cartoon, for instance.

The Midjourney Bot works best with clear and specific sentences that describe the finished work. It does not work well with conversational style lists of requests. Rather than providing specific instructions, such as ‘Show me a picture of lots of blooming California poppies, make them bright, vibrant orange, and draw them in an illustrated style with colored pencils,’ try describing what you want in a more straightforward manner, such as ‘Vibrant orange California poppies illustrated with colored pencils‘.

AI Image generated memes

AI generated image for the prompt ‘MAGA’. AI image generators like MidJourney create images automatically based on a description you enter. It offers different possible versions of images corresponding to the description you enter for you to choose from.

AI image generators automatically generate variations of a chosen image. These changes are normally minor and could include colors, shades, letters or expressions. Notice the different cheek lines in these images.

Add descriptors to have the AI Image generator create new versions of the image. We modified ‘MAGA’ to ‘MAGA, cartoon, realistic like Disney character’

AI image generators can also be used to create political memes in seconds. We changed the description to ‘MAGA, politician, angry, agitated, violent‘.

AI Image generators can easily convert an image into a meme or cartoon figure.

Upscale an image by having the AI image generators automatically improve the quality of an image with better resolution, colors and lighting.

AI Image generators can produce images that might resemble real people, but such similarities are purely coincidental. This image is of Lindsey Graham pushing to confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Use AI for good, not to mislead

“The RNC video features AI-created images appearing to show President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris celebrating at an Election Day party, followed by a series of imagined reports about international and domestic crises that the ad suggests would follow a Biden victory in 2024. AI-generated images are disrupting art, journalism, and now politics. The 2024 election is poised to be the first election with ads full ofimages generated by modern Artificial Intelligence software that are meant to look and feel real to voters.” – Axios

Creating an AI generated video

We first used Midjourney to ‘imagine’ a future with a Republican president with these images.
– Trump as a dictator
– Women further persecuted and stripped of their freedoms
– Republican politicians beholdend to billionaire donors
– A corrupt Supreme Court approving Republican right wing extremism
– More tax cuts for GOP billionaire tax donors
– Corporate slavery and worse living conditions for most Americans
These images were used to create a 30 second video with the free iMovie app. The whole process of creating the images and the video using free software took about three hours. Music credit to George Lucas as we used the Darth Vader theme as the soundtrack.

Watch the video with music.
