What is the Billie Jean Dance AI trend, and where did it start?

"Billie Jean" is Michael Jackson's 1983 hit from *Thriller*. On 25 March 1983 he sang it at the *Motown 25* TV special in a black sequined jacket, black trousers, white socks, loafers and one white glove, with a fedora, and did the moonwalk in public for the first time.

• White curly hair, glasses or a burgundy shirt show up (Human) — The AI granny in the reel has all three. The prompts ask for them only when your photo has them. Run it again.
