People on Chinese social media platforms such as TikTok and Bilibili have recently begun a trend of ridiculing AI-generated videos, which is also gaining popularity among users on X/Twitter.
Despite companies like OpenAI and Midjourney investing billions into the problem, AI-generated videos are still falling short of expectations. You may recall the viral Will Smith eating spaghetti AI video, but although there have been improvements, they are not yet flawless.
Currently, individuals on China’s TikTok and Bilibili platforms are creating parodies of the appearance of artificially generated videos. One user, @theGioM, shared a video of this nature, which has already garnered over five million views.

The video features creators engaging in various random and chaotic activities, which is exactly the type of strange behavior one would anticipate from AI-generated content.
Some users on X have discovered that these videos are quite hilarious, leading some to question whether they are real or actually generated by AI.
“The internet certainly delivered this time,”remarked one user. “This is some top-notch performance art – art imitates life imitating AI. I almost shed a tear [crying emoji],”joked another user.
“One user asked, “Can you all tell the difference? Because I certainly can’t XD.”This suggests that the way it’s shot is remarkably similar to AI-generated videos.”
AI-generated videos may currently be less sophisticated, but their goal is to aid filmmakers, YouTube content creators, and individuals on different platforms, and potentially even take over their roles. In fact, there is already a film that was entirely created by AI, including the actors, storyline, and direction.
In February, OpenAI announced the release of Sora, its latest video generator. This new technology is being actively developed by large tech companies and has the ability to produce lifelike scenes featuring both human characters and more animated-style videos.
At present, both Google and Meta have revealed that they are developing text-to-video technology, although it has not yet been made available to the public.
