What is the Rumpelstiltskin AI trend?
The Rumpelstiltskin meme started as an AI clip of a creepy imp creeping up to a woman in a heap of straw and dancing in front of her — so realistic that many people took it for old film footage. It quickly became a template for swapping in other characters. Upload one photo to cast someone as the imp.
