Why are AI fruit and vegetables on TikTok telling us what to eat?

Why do we keep seeing AI fruit and veg videos?

Life advice and hacks is a big social media trend at the start of the year, but this usually comes in the form of advice from people who say they are experts or creators sharing their own ideas. That means the AI videos will stand out in users’ feeds.

The tone of the voice being used has also been important in them being noticed. People have said the foods are “shouting” at them, with one user writing: “Everything has a face now that talks or yells”.

One video telling people they deserve fresh snacks featured a furious looking crisp saying: “If I bend instead of crunch, I’m stale. Stop forcing it, throw me out or accept you’re eating sadness.”

Hashtags used with the videos have included #healthyhabits, #tips and #lifehacks, meaning they may be viewed by people searching for this sort of content. #lifehacks alone has 4.9 million posts on TikTok.

It’s also worth remembering that algorithms will suggest content to you based on your previous likes and site visits. What seems like a viral post may just be an echo chamber based on experience.

The more interactions you make with this type of content, the more you will see it on your fyp.
