A new wave of AI-generated ASMR content is sweeping across TikTok, captivating users with bizarre, mesmerizing visuals and soothing sounds. The trend, which has surged in popularity in recent months, showcases surreal scenarios—from crystal fruit slices to molten lava mukbangs—blending sensory satisfaction with digital creativity.
Since AI-generated videos began trending in 2023, creators have pushed boundaries with increasingly unusual concepts. Earlier this year, AI transformed viral podcast clips into baby versions of hosts like Joe Rogan and Theo Von. Now, the platform is flooded with dreamlike ASMR clips designed to hypnotize viewers.

Searching “AI ASMR” on TikTok reveals countless videos featuring oddly satisfying visuals. One popular theme involves knives slicing through crystal-clear fruits—watermelons, grapes, and apples—that crack open to reveal unexpected textures like kiwi or coconut. But the trend goes beyond just slicing: some clips show an AI-generated woman eating a bowl of glowing lava with chopsticks, while others feature an alien serving a sizzling “lava steak” for Father’s Day.
Though clearly artificial, these surreal creations have sparked fascination, proving that AI’s creative potential is far from exhausted. As TikTokers continue experimenting with generative tools, the line between relaxation and digital fantasy grows ever thinner—ushering in a new era of ASMR that’s as strange as it is addictive.
