Donald Trump and Joe Biden are playing chess. “This job is not fun,” Biden mouths. “I know,” Trump replies, adding “Missed you in the race.” Biden says: “Wish we could get out of here.”
What follows is a montage of shots that would not be out of place in a Hollywood film made on the love between two men.
They eat ice cream, hang out, drink, even go to Mt Rushmore together.

Of course. It’s all happening in an AI-generated video.
“As the industry shifts and evolves through new mediums and new demands, we bring the missing pieces to the table to make commercials, content, and digital and physical experiences with our diverse roster of creative talent,” says the About section of m ss ng p eces, the production company run by a Los Angeles-based new age artist, Ari Kuschnir.
Kuschnir has made the video about Trump and Biden via artificial intelligence aka AI – the invention of which, many believe, is another invention-of-the-wheel moment in human evolution.
He writes in the description for the video on his X (formerly Twitter) account: “I asked AI to imagine the Trump Biden lunch at the White House today and it did not disappoint!”
In another video, titled The Transmutation of Sam Altman, Kuschnir outlines the danger of an AI world via the CEO of OpenAI, who famously told Indian wannabe tech billionaires in June last year that it was “hopeless” for countries like India to compete with the first world in making things like ChatGPT .
“What happens if Sam’s dream of AGI becomes our collective nightmare. Ironically, thanks to AI we can envision it. Let’s hope he wakes up! #ai #samaltman #aivideo tools,” Kuschnir writes.
“With offices in NY & LA, we produce globally recognized work for agencies, studios, and brands,” Kuschnir’s company’s bio adds. “Together in partnership with Tribeca Studios, we offer our clients an unparalleled range of creative and production services. These include creating and producing original feature and short films, powerful documentaries, story-rich branded content, and artist development programs that elevate underrepresented voices from the next generation of filmmakers.”
In yet another eye-popping video, Kuschnir gets AI to imagine what would happen if Elon Musk – who many believe has emerged as the most powerful man in the world with US President-elect Trump tapping him to bring alive a meme, DOGE, aka department of government efficiency – took ayahuasca.
Ayahuasca, used in indigenous Central and Latin American cultures, is one of the most potent psychedelic drugs known to man. The rock star Sting in his biography describes how taking ayahuasca made him a lifelong advocate for the protection of the environment in general and the Amazon rainforest in particular.
Ayahuasca and other mind benders are also the drugs of choice for many in Silicon Valley trying to imagine a future with new products humanity will not be able to live without. So much so that headlines like Why Tech CEOs Are Drawn To Ayahuasca And Other Psychedelic Drugs’ can be spotted in publications like Forbes.
So what happens when Elon Musk takes ayahuasca? Kuschnir gets AI to imagine it. Take a look:
