The rise of AI-generated video has taken the internet by storm, with enthusiasts experimenting with popular meme templates and producing some truly unsettling results. Luma Labs’ “Dream Machine” AI video generator has been making waves, allowing users to create videos with just a few prompts. While the technology has improved dramatically, the results still have a fever dream quality to them, with people depicted in the videos often shapeshifting and exhibiting uncanny movements. The “distracted boyfriend” meme has been particularly warped, with the boyfriend following the distracting woman as she transforms into a child, and the “distracted girlfriend” meme featuring a twisted, exorcism-like body contortion. Even a Captain Picard reaction GIF has been altered, revealing a completely different face. While some find the results amusing, others are criticizing the technology for its environmental impact and lack of artistic integrity.
