The AI Is Getting Scary trend is rapidly spreading on YouTube Shorts as creators lean into artificial intelligence’s eerie and unsettling side.
In this trend, users share short, creepy videos they’ve generated with AI – ranging from uncanny deepfake-style clips and distorted images to unsettling animations that feel almost too realistic.
The appeal lies in both shock value and fascination, as viewers are drawn to content that blurs the line between technology and the uncanny.
These videos often spark conversation in the comments, with audiences debating whether AI is impressive, frightening, or both.
By highlighting the more disturbing aspects of AI, the trend captures attention quickly, fuels curiosity, and plays into the broader cultural conversation about how far artificial intelligence can go.
For creators, it’s an effective way to generate engagement, as people are eager to react, share, and discuss the unsettling possibilities of AI.
