🎬 Belgian duo turns AI parody ad into 7M views for AiCandy

AiCandy, founded in 2025, broke out after two Belgian creators released a 40 second AI generated ad.

The video aged Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman and promoted “Energym,” a fictional 2036 fitness club where unemployed people pedal to power the AI that replaced them.

The clip reached 5M views across social platforms. A U.S. senator commented on X that it “doesn’t look like a parody.”

Within a day, the creators received a job offer from The Dor Brothers and multiple collaboration requests.

One short AI video pushed a small studio into global feeds.
