An engineer recreated several absurd objects from neural network videos in reality

Engineer Allen Pan brought three absurd projects inspired by AI-generated videos to life.

Engineer Allen Pan conducted an experiment: he took three viral AI videos with millions of views and built these crazy contraptions in real life. The idea is simple: if a neural network can steal ideas from humans, why not do the opposite?

The first project was a mobility scooter shaped like a horse (the AI ​​version has racked up millions). Alan and his friends welded a carousel horse to an electric scooter, doubled the battery voltage, and added foot control. The result was... dangerous. The brakes didn't work, and the steering wheel barely turned. But the video was filmed.

The second was beer heels. He commissioned a 3D printer from a real craftsman (30 hours of work versus three seconds for a neural network), and arranged a photo shoot. The model couldn't walk in them—they had zero traction.

The third was an aquarium toilet. Here, Alan outdid himself. He built a fully functional transparent acrylic toilet with a real flush, and placed live fish in the space around the mechanism. He added blue backlighting and a SpongeBob figurine.

Results after three weeks:

TikTok was a flop, with less than 10,000 views per video. YouTube—around 80,000, also disappointing. But Instagram* was a surprise. The horse—90,000 views, the toilet—almost 500,000, and the beer shoes—6 million views.

But even that wasn't enough. The original AI slop with the shoes got over 10 million. Humanity lost.

However, Alan honestly admits: his videos took weeks of work from real people—engineers, designers, and camera operators. AI generates these things in seconds. It's impossible to fight this quantitatively. We can only hope for quality... or just accept it.

All AI-slops can be seen in the author's large video.

AI-slop is a term used to describe low-quality, meaningless, and useless content created by artificial intelligence.
