Women crashing through glass bridges. Cat parents grinding their children into mincemeat. Poor people rioting in Walmart. Whichever way you look, the internet is clearly drowning in AI slop — and the tide just keeps coming in.
The latest AI slop fad strangling the web is a series of videos with a bizarre fixation on traumatized food. In keeping with the grand tradition of AI garbage, the premise is incredibly unhinged: families of anthropomorphized food, often styled as spaghetti, are plucked, chopped, boiled, or fried, screaming in agony as they’re prepared for some heartless human’s meal.
Recently uploaded vertical videos on TikTok and Instagram show dozens of variations on the theme, some with tens of thousands of views, others with millions.
“My tiny little noodles, my sweet girls, don’t look down,” a momma pasta sobs in one clip on TikTok. “Mommy, the air is burning, I’m scared,” one of the baby bundles cries. “I don’t wanna fall.”
The spaghetti is then submerged, graphically, into the boiling water, before being dressed up in red sauce. “My wife, my daughters… where are you my love,” a masculine spaghetti bunch weeps from the kitchen counter.
