How to do the creepy ‘stairway to heaven’ trend on TikTok

A new AI staircase filter is going viral on TikTok, as users claim it can predict how close you are to your death. Here’s how to do the eerie trend.

Short-form video app TikTok is always bubbling with new trends, challenges, and features that capture the attention and creativity of its users.

One of the latest trends that’s causing waves of intrigue is the AI ‘stairway to heaven’ filter. This eerie effect is going viral as it tells users how close to death they are based on a generated heavenly staircase.

The filter captures a picture of your room or surroundings, and once the photo is taken, AI technology processes the image and generates a celestial-looking staircase.

According to TikTokers, the length of the staircase symbolizes the predicted longevity of your life. A longer staircase supposedly indicates a longer lifespan, while a shorter one might suggest the opposite.
