The 'Smash Or Pass' trend evolved from a classic social game into a digital mainstay, finding new life with the rise of AI-generated imagery. In the 'Smash Or Pass AI' iteration, users typically react to hyper-realistic or stylistically perfect characters created by tools like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney. The meme often highlights the uncanny valley effect or the absurdity of developing preferences for non-existent, algorithmically generated entities. It is widely used on platforms like TikTok and X (Twitter) to joke about the future of digital attraction, the quality of modern AI art, or the increasingly blurred lines between reality and synthetic media.
