AI-Driven Time Travelers Revive and Distort Classic Vines

A new TikTok trend uses AI to create unsettling alternate endings to well-loved Vines, blending nostalgia with eerie twists.

Users employ Luma AI's Dream Machine to extend and alter famous Vines from the 2010s.
The trend features 'time travelers' interrupting Vines, adding a surreal and often disturbing element.
Popular AI-extended Vines include the 'What's nine plus ten?' and 'Deez Nuts' clips.
The trend began in mid-June 2024 and quickly went viral across TikTok and X.
Commenters note that these AI Vines may confuse younger generations unfamiliar with the original clips.
