TikTok's brilliant AI decided to spice up video descriptions with completely absurd and inaccurate text, because why let humans describe their own content when a machine can do it worse? The feature was so impressively bad that the errors went viral before TikTok had to scale it back. Another flawless AI rollout that nobody asked for and everyone regretted.
