What does the Missed Train Dance AI meme mean? Other names for the trend

Updated:

Short answer

The joke is the mood swing: total despair at the closing doors, then instant joy as the dance starts. AI versions swap in a friend, a boss or a pet and keep the platform. People search it as missed my train dance, train guy dance, missed train AI or Missed Train Dance trend.
