AI-generated Minion Gore videos posted to social media
People are using the AI video generator Runway to transform real murder videos into Minion-style animations and post them to social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X. The videos gain thousands of views before the platforms can detect and remove them. The practice, called 'Minion Gore,' started in mid-December 2024 and highlights the challenge of moderating AI-generated violent content.
