Since it was released in 2017, social media platform TikTok has been the way young people communicate, but that could be changing. Alarm over recent changes in the app's privacy policy and accusations that its new, American owners are messing up the algorithm have some users deleting their accounts and leaving. Or at least saying they're leaving. But where will they go?
So, what's the downside? Well, it's a small team and it seems to be having some issues with the number of downloads. More troubling are reports of a flood of antisemitic material appearing on the site. In a statement to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Upscrolled spokeperson Gabriella Bord wrote, “Our content moderation hasn’t been able to keep up with the massive rise of users this week,” and “We’re working with digital rights experts to grow our Trust & Safety team and are beefing up our content moderation to prevent this," so maybe the moderation team is just having some growing pains.
Viral video of the week: human vs. AI baby dancing
It starts with the post below, from @mindalchemy0236, which I apologize for in advance.
An ad for the "Baby Dance" app, this video has been viewed over 100 million times. It became so overplayed on TiKTok that users fought back in the only way they could: Through dance. In a modern re-enactment of the American myth of John Henry vs. the Steam Engine, users on TikTok are locked in dance battle with AI. People responded to the annoying ad with videos of their human children doing the same dance for real, joking that it was to save $1.98, the app's price.
Kids got into it, throwing shade at AI at the same time.
Then grown-ups got in on it,
Grannies started doing it,
and celebrities like Lisa Rinna got into the act.
AI food yelling videos: brain rot that's good for you
I'm always trying to find good things about artificial intelligence. So far I got:
Finding Waldo
For real though. This growing meme format involves asking AI to make videos of food angrily telling you how to properly and safely prepare and store it. They're entertaining, educational, and if one person remembers to throw away rice that's left out, it could save a life and be worth all that cooling water. Kids need to know all this junk and for some reason they like brain rot. Check out these meaty boys:
And these angry fellas:
What does "young ho" mean?
I'm sure you know what both "ho" and "young" mean, but put them together and it becomes something else, both a reclamation of the word "ho" and an expression of youth-based solidarity.
The trend started with mildly insulting, older-people-bag-on-youngins posts on X like this one:
