From Sept 21–22, Higgsfield's Genjutsu video generation feature went viral as multiple reposted demo videos showed ultra-realistic "persona" luxury lifestyle clips, drawing widespread attention and meme-making.

Confirmed

  • Demo material mainly came from Instagram creator @iinsightri; user @truejigga also generated "larpmaxxers"-themed videos with the tool.
  • Reposters @SimplyAnnisa and @CurieuxExplorer described the results as "insane" and the wildest AI persona-generation play of the moment.
  • In a demo shared by @gpumaxxer, the person's pointing, sitting and talking-to-camera motions stayed coherent while the entire surrounding world was replaced by AI — its motion retention was considered impressive.
