On June 21, 2024, Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hong-an posted a photo on Facebook of her eating ice cream, stating that as the weather gets hotter, she invited everyone to eat various types of ice cream, with mango ice cream being the starting point for this summer. However, netizens speculated that the mango ice cream in Mayor Gao's hand appeared to be a synthesized image. In response, Hsinchu City Government's Acting Director of the Administration Department Peng Kong-zhen explained that the mango ice cream was generated by AI. The image was crafted with Mayor Gao wearing a shirt and suit jacket, holding a large bowl of mango ice cream, accompanied by a tagline on the side referring to the summer solstice and advice to stay hydrated. The act stirred curiosity among netizens, but it was later revealed that the mango ice cream was AI-generated. Peng further expressed gratitude to NVIDIA for advancing AI technology, as Mayor Gao and city officials visited NVIDIA's headquarters in the US last year to learn and progress together in the realm of AI.
