For years, Jensen Huang has sold generative AI as the technology that will change every industry. This week, it found a new use case: roasting Jensen Huang.
Since the Nvidia CEO admitted in an email to employees on 8 November that he had been unfaithful to his wife – amid reports, first published by The New York Times, that US officials believe the woman involved, former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang (no relation), is a Chinese spy – the internet has done what the internet does. This time, though, it is using Huang’s own product to do it.
TechCrunch, in its meme roundup, ranked the funniest efforts “with bonus points for AI images presumably generated using Nvidia chips”. “As usual, AI-generated content is doing a lot of heavy lifting,” the writers noted later in the piece.
Deepfake detection firm Copyleaks told TechCrunch it had seen “an explosion in AI-manipulated photos and videos” of the pair. By Monday morning, Copyleaks’ tally included at least 70 AI-related posts on X, which together drew around 8.42 million views.
The highlights include an AI remake of Usher’s Confessions Part II music video and an AI recreation of the infamous 2025 Coldplay Jumbotron clip, with the two Huangs swapped in for the original pair.
Korean media have catalogued more. Korea JoongAng Daily reports that parodies spreading across online communities and social media include AI videos of the pair dancing to HyunA and Jang Hyun-seung’s 2011 K-pop hit Trouble Maker, and a take on the lift scene from (500) Days of Summer that users have dubbed “500 Days of Chip”.
The paper also notes some Korean wordplay: written in Hangul, chip (칩) and cheop (첩), a term for a mistress, differ by one short stroke.
On X, one meme contrasts “Chinese models: DeepSeek, Kimi” with “Chinese model: Alice Huang”.

None of this is entirely new territory for Huang. In October 2025, a deepfake Huang livestream pushing a crypto scam drew nearly 100 000 viewers, PC Gamer reported – about five times the live audience of Nvidia’s real GTC keynote, which was running at the same time.
Behind the jokes, the stakes are anything but funny. Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation, though it says it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. The company has nonetheless shed about US$430-billion in market value over two trading sessions, and US President Donald Trump has said the FBI is looking into the affair. Trump also said Huang told him he had no idea the woman was a spy. China’s foreign ministry has dismissed the “so-called Chinese spy narrative” as groundless, and Alice Huang has not responded publicly.

“There is no excuse for what I did,” Huang wrote. Later in the email, he added: “I support the investigation and will cooperate fully.”
At Computex in 2023, Huang declared that thanks to generative AI, “everyone is a programmer”. He probably didn’t foresee everyone becoming a comedian too, with him as the material. – (c) 2026 NewsCentral Media
