If you know neither of them, I encourage at least looking up dark fantasy TikTok’s. You won’t get it until you get it. That genre was a time and place thing culturally, but it was also an experiment with technologies available. Basically, 2024 AI content, a time where the tech lended itself to hyper realistic video with stylistic parameters, but it hadn’t locked down voices. It was more primitive to what we have now even less than 2 years ago, but it captured hearts and minds and now is just mostly history. More recently; there have been short clips of drama, could be realistic, but often fantasy on the visuals. There was a trend of fruit looking humanoid characters; often having intense personal / romantic conversations. Much more than dark fantasy, it was considered “slop” but also had a novelty that you might watch some of them. Why is it bad but also “good?” It’s taking advantage of better video, narrative, and voice upgrades to make something that’s a new novelty. I’m sure it will look different in 5 years. New trends, new “sigh, this sh is AI” conversations on those trends, but the cycle keeps going. I’m not saying I’m here for it. There’s a ton of slop, there’s a ton of viral content as well. Some easy to capture a laugh, with users either not knowing or not caring because it was decently entertaining (probably required a human in some level to make it palatable.) but I’m not sure what to think. I think there’s a place for being okay with AI assisted entertainment, but culturally and also personally for me at times, it’s on the nose with “consume this bs” If it’s conflicting in that way, will it be conflicting in 10 years when it gets more advanced? I think we will have a high likelihood of being able to see authenticity, but sometimes I let my guard down. Sometimes I actually just say “this sh is AI, BUT I enjoyed it enough to not just downvote it.” I dunno, it’s a philosophical question for me at times. submitted by /u/resampL
