15 AI Videos of Black Folks That Look So Real You Were Likely Fooled

From sparking social media discourse to cotton picking vlogs, these AI videos are getting out of hand.

We know artificial intelligence is here to stay, but some of these videos are getting out of control! From generated mukbangs (videos of people eating ridiculous amounts of food) to flat-out racist stereotypes, people are using AI to portray Black people in funny, misleading and sometimes dangerous ways.

It's getting downright scary how realistic AI is getting as it grows in popularity. The moral implications of it all is a conversation for another day, but check out these life-like AI videos for yourself, and you decide if folks are truly playing with fire...

Sparking Twitter Discourse

https://twitter.com/rahsh33m/status/1935100294372663716

Earlier this week, an video portraying a Black woman eating fried chicken sparked major debate online. No, it wasn't because of how realistic the video looked. Instead, folks were worried about what the AI woman said: "You cut off your friend for missing your birthday dinner but not the man who forgot your birthday?" People online ran with the question and gave their own two cents on why the friend was justified or not.

SlaveTok

A new trend is bubbling on TikTok, and folks are dubbing it "slavetok." Videos like this are circulating on the app of Black men vlogging their "cotton picking" experience.

The rise of AI vlogging could very well be in our future. Videos like this showing an AI Black woman packing are scary similar to how our favorite YouTube vloggers would usually do. One user in the comments, however, noticed a small glitch which gave it away that this was indeed AI... Did you catch it?

Despite the implications of AI, folks online claim its helped them with their own businesses. "What if your content could work for you 24/7? I used AI to create her and now she’s helping me attract clients, build a brand, and make passive income," @sadeonscreen said.

Happy Juneteenth

If you told us in 2020 -- during the height of the Black Lives Matter protests -- that five years later, folks would be recreating the racial tension and disturbing violence of that time through AI content, we wouldn't believe you.

Get Ready With Me

Many question if videos like this one -- portraying a Black couple showing off flashy chains, brand new cars and expensive lifestyles -- does more harm than good.

Skin Care Routines

https://www.tiktok.com/@aliyah.ai8/video/7514041722188352798
