Jensen Huang 'MJ world tour' AI meme videos flood Bilibili, spotlighting Chinese video models
Since late September, Bilibili creators have posted a wave of "Michael Jackson world tour" AI edits that swap figures such as Jensen Huang, Zhuge Liang and Mendeleev into MJ's Jam concert footage; one Huang version by creator "Wangyuyexing" had 3.33 million views as of Oct 8 and was reposted by Elon Musk, who joked it explained why memory is so expensive. The article says the workflow is simple: replace characters locally and free with ComfyUI's Wan 2.2 Animate, or use online platforms such as UPDream's template-copy feature. It cites the Artificial Analysis video-editing leaderboard as ranking Alibaba's Wan 3.0 first, ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 second and MiniMax H3 fourth, and says a 4-second clip costs as little as 0.28 yuan domestically under a promo, far below the per-clip share of Runway's subscription credits.
Cheap, accessible video remixing highlights the editing quality and pricing of Chinese video-generation models, and lets individual creators produce finished clips on tiny budgets.
