"Tiktok has seen a rise of AI generated content this month. These AI videos mostly consist of popular content within the app, often content that’s been mashed up into one video." -- Kasper stallworth, 8th grade
Tiktok has seen a rise of AI generated content this month. These AI videos mostly consist of popular content within the app, often content that’s been mashed up into one video.
A big example of this was when the popular Roblox content creator, Kreekcraft, had parts of his life posted by other people on the app. Due to the clips of his life becoming memes, many AI videos have been made of him with the character he was talking about within the meme: Gubby, who is a Roblox model of a bunny.
Within these videos, an AI version of Kreekcraft would say the line that made him go viral, and then the character Gubby would sing the song on Tiktok created by Orokya about the character. This video reached around ten thousands in likes, and due to its success, multiple videos composed in the same format have been increasing on the app with new memes such as ones containing IdkSterling, who is an influencer that often talks about creepy viral clips.
These types of videos have been created on Tiktok’s AI cast, which creates an “AI self” using someone’s, or your own face. According to Tiktok, within the support page, “AI cast is an AI-powered feature that allows you to generate or remix videos starring you and your friend’s authenticated AI selves.”
However, AI cast has gotten a new update which makes it harder for the AI to replicate characters within pictures, and the people who used it for the AI meme slop call it the “AI cast nerf.” Nerf, meaning making something weaker.
There are many slideshows on Tiktok with the AI cast users making a guide to bypass the new “nerf.” Often on these there's an AI image of the character, Gubby from different angles, and the exact prompt to keep Gubby from turning into another animal.
AI videos on Tiktok seem to include animals a lot. Lit Arts 7th grader Parker Brewer and 8th grader Paloma Bastos both stated that they have come across videos of animals singing, specifically pigeons.
“I've seen AI videos of pigeons dancing and singing,” said Brewer, who went on to say that these videos usually contained animals (like cheetahs, tigers, etc.) “dancing or singing, and people singing on stages while throwing food at people.”
Bastos agreed, adding that, “The videos (at least of the brainrot) contain animals like pigeons or dogs singing in a deep voice.”
These AI pigeon videos likely came from a trend from a video of a one legged pigeon which had gotten a lot of likes, however it slowly evolved into AI generated content from reaction images, (which are images users use to convey their reaction to a certain video / comment) and videos that contain pigeons whispering in a deep voice while singing songs that had become jokes or popular, such as Tayo Ricci’s song for the World Cup.
Another example of this AI viral content is when someone posted a video of Erling Haaland, the popular Norwegian football player who participated in the FIFA world cup. According to Bitesize, the video was “A clip of the Manchester City Striker (Haaland) digging into a meal with chopsticks.”
It was first posted on X by @crazymoment01 on June 29th before being reposted onto Tiktok, and the video has received thousands of likes on all the apps it was posted on.
AI videos within Tiktok have been increasing. According to Kapwing from their test, 59% of the videos fed to new accounts were AI, whereas when tested 21% of YouTube’s videos were AI.
“Well, not just Tiktok but YouTube especially, there's so much AI slop and it's just so disgusting and irritating to see,” Violet Regilio, an 8th Grade Literary Arts student, stated. “I noticed this early 2026, when I got social media.”
Sofia Gonzalez, a 7th grade student in the same pathway as Regilio stated, “I started to notice it immediately when people started posting AI content when Sora A.I. and Chat GPT were new apps.”
According to Futurism, “YouTube also recently announced that it was making changes to how it would start labeling AI-generated content in a broader effort to tamp down on AI slop, but shopped short of changing “how a video is recommended or whether it’s eligible to earn money.”
However, it’s likely that AI generated content of people, characters, and trending topics will continue increasing in the future.
