\n\tStephen Colbert took a moment during his \u201cLate Show\u201d monologue Thursday evening to praise his fellow comedians in the Paramount family, highlighting the \u201cSouth Park\u201d season premiere\u2019s use of AI-generated footage that depicted President Trump stripping nude in the desert.<\/p>\n
\n\tColbert introduced the clip by highlighting Trump\u2019s recent signing of an AI-related executive order, which states that the federal government \u201cshould be hesitant to regulate AI models in the private marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI completely agree with him on this one, because, if the government interfered with private AI, innovators at \u2018South Park\u2019 wouldn\u2019t be able to make important videos like this one,\u201d Colbert said. The \u201cSouth Park\u201d footage played, drawing applause from the crowd. \u201cThat is an important message of hope for our times.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order aimed at preventing \u201cwoke AI in the federal government.\u201d The order directs agency heads to procure \u201conly large language models (LLMs) that adhere to \u2018Unbiased AI Principles\u2019 defined in the order as \u201ctruth-seeking and ideological neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tHours later, the \u201cSouth Park\u201d Season 27 premiere put Trump in its crosshairs, depicting the president flapping around an uncensored micro-penis, snuggling up to Satan in bed and threatening to sue anyone who disagrees with his policies. In a departure from the show\u2019s usual animated style, the episode concluded with the AI-generated deepfake.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe episode drew a response from the White House: \u201cThis show hasn\u2019t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cSouth Park\u201d creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone extended their overall deal at Paramount ahead of the premiere, with an order for 50 new episodes over the next five years. The agreement has been reported to be valued at $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n
