The viral Australian Olympic breakdancing routine by Raygun has been remade using artificial intelligence and the results are terrifying.

Aussie B-girl Rachael “Raygun” Gunn took the Paris 2024 Olympics by storm after her unusual performance in breaking’s debut at the Games.

Her routine was mocked on US late-night television and Raygun even became the topic of conversation between Adele and her fans during a concert.

It seems the internet hasn’t tired of the viral moment after someone used AI to recreate her routine with some disturbing results.

A viral clip shared on X/Twitter showed a person resembling Raygun appearing to be on a stage doing some breaking moves as parts of her body began to morph.

Raygun’s legs appeared to turn into a torso and before two male heads popped out of it at different angles.

In another segment, the head of the AI-generated person disappeared completely leaving just two arms and two legs doing the dance moves.

The AI clip was generated by X/Twitter user @69420digits who has “AI + Art since 2015” in their bio.

The video drew a variety of reactions, with some enjoying the ongoing meme-ification of Raygun’s performance, while others were left perplexed about why the content was made.

“This is fantastic,” one person commented.

Another asked: “Who is this content for?”

Someone else wrote: “I think the most interesting part of AI is the fact that it looks like how you remember your dreams

“Doesn’t make sense but stuff happens with no real solid transition.”
