AI has created a new breed of cat video: addictive, disturbing and nauseatingly quick soap operas | Artificial intelligence (AI)

At the (tail) end of 2024, Billie Eilish was crossed on stage and started to Miaow. Her fans broke out in harmony, each showing their own miaow. She white, You recognized! This is because Eilish's Oscar winner did what I was done for? – Lachrymosis Barbie Cut Belling Adulthood's with Ennui has become the standard soundtrack for a new generation of cat videos.

You can recognize it: the song often plays over these fantasies with ai-generated fantasies with a cartoons fat cat or an equally suitable cat with a human body. The cat cheats on her lover, falls pregnant or looking for revenge in a strangely condensed soap opera. And like all soap operators, these videos make them extremely addicted.

Here is one for example. While MR Whisker, who carries a red flannel shirt, he accidentally works off while accidentally setting his paw while trying to see some wood in shape. He is fired (indeed, the signs in his warehouse expressly indicate that all workers “have two arms to work”), his wife separates him and he tries to record the parts of his hard clothing life in 30 years. Everything goes swimming until his despised ex-wife tries to kill him a little later with an ax, but everything is fine … she falls into a puddle and humiliates herself.

In another case, a baby falls in a shark affected waters and a muscling cat (in Capri pants, no less) a large white to death before saving the baby, adopts it and brings it to his villa from Beverly Hills, where the two live happily. Every story is neat, kitsch and bad quickly – with millions of prospects.

The cat in elephant size in the area of all these videos is that Mr. and Mrs. Whiskers are not necessarily … cats. They are also kind of people. Moggies with robust, sporty human bodies that occasionally live in villas, drive convertibles and edit corporate jobs. And yet some cup of her apparently exquisite series of circumstances and strange flawless bodies are routinely found with grief, sick or in danger, as there is uncanny pop covers accompany your downfall.

They are deported by ships, snapped in house fires, drugs, arrested, arrested and bullied. This raises the question: Are these videos 30-second pre-view stories? About wealth, betrayal, scandal and forgiveness? Are you Shakespeare over the neighbors meet Euripides? Are you biblical parables for our time?

Every video Is signposted by a glaring domestic disaster: a useless father accidentally drives his kitten into a ceiling fan (a particularly cruel one, as I have to add). A fraudulent woman who does not pay attention to her husband's call is suspended after years. It is the hero's journey, just a Furry.

And they get dark … quickly. In A disturbing videoA cat lady is in the Antebellum South and picks cotton before it is whipped in overalls by a white cat. Every video is slimming, sometimes violent and always melodramatic. And even if other animals with AI-generated animals such as crazy eagles or spoiled sharks have, the cats keep their human six-packs and biped out of breeding.

In another“Luigi Meowgione” observes in pain as his cat's grandmother collapses in the grocery store. Your health insurance will be refused in the hospital, so that he is faced with the company “Evil Corp Insurance”, scaled it from the outside and fills the building with cat mint gas. After the security officers are out of operation with a terrible case of nibbles, Luigi Meowgione can chop the system – and until the end of the video – he discretely sounds to the CEO office … presumably to search for revenge. We are not to know how part two has not yet been published.

After all, the Internet has always loved cats with human attributes. “I can haz cheezburger?Is probably nobody heard a sentence anymore. Grumpy Was fun because it was a cat that was grumpy. The question: Are these Miaow-Miaow videos the final form of anthropomorphic kitty or are you only imitators in history?
