What does the Code Rot Filter / Yep It's Code Rotted Indeed meme mean?

A TikTok scare-format around the 'Despicable Me 4 – Correct' filter game. Creators caption clips as if the filter itself has 'code rot' — software decay that supposedly breaks the game — then lean into eerie music, text-to-speech, and 'yep it's code rotted indeed' punchlines. The joke treats a glitchy or unfinished AR filter like a cursed first-of-its-kind digital plague.
