During the New Year holidays (2025–26) on Instagram, an AI trend emerged—hugging with celebrities. In the video, the blogger made a picture with one movie star, then switched to another, and so on.
Back then it looked almost like magic. Everyone understood the video was drawn, but… it was still almost like the real thing. The fastest and most enterprising people were already selling “guides” for creating such videos, and it just took off.
Our days. Under the trailer for Tarantino’s Cliff, a comment reads: “I don’t get anything anymore— is this a real trailer for a real movie or AI?”
AI content has become so abundant, and its quality so impressive, that people often don’t even realize what they’re looking at. And the ones arguing in the comments also don’t understand.
