When Artificial Intelligence was first introduced to mankind, we all thought it would be used for noble purposes, perhaps even solve ongoing first-world problems like cancer and poverty. However, the trajectory of AI has been quite interesting since it became accessible to the public. In fact, even a new genre of AI videos has been created, known as AI ASMR videos.

From videos of lavabeds and glass getting cut to tiny fruits being forced to commit cannibalism. This bizarre world of AI videos only gets weirder the deeper you dive into it. TikToks and Instagram reels of such videos are going viral every day. The most disturbing of them all, however, is the fruit ‘cannibalism’ videos. In these strange videos, adorable fruits like kiwi and apple are seen being fed well…themselves.
As mentioned before, these videos are growing at an unprecedented rate. Last year, we saw the rise of brainrot content. We all know about the famous tralalelo tralala and ballerina cappuccina Italian AI-generated memes that also went incredibly viral. It is becoming clear that AI is playing a crucial role in internet culture. But there is a dark side to this phenomenon.
These videos are very convenient to make and do not require much experience; some platforms even allow them to be monetised, hence generating quick cash. But the problem with mass AI-generated videos is the lack of creativity and content being made at the cost of the environment.

A great amount of water is also needed to cool off this hardware.
