Warning: don't dip into TikTok before a meal these days. In fact, just don't look at TikTok at all – at least not if you value your relationship with food.
I use the social media app rarely enough to discover a new viral trend each time I open it, and each one tends to be more horrifying than the the last. At the moment, it's all about surreal AI-generated videos of people eating or being eaten – or of foods eating or being fed to themselves. The latest AI video generators allow anyone to generate scenes of horror that would make David Cronenberg feel queasy, and yet it's hard to look away.
