I generally see it used to demo a TUI, to great effect.
Good point, I mostly remember the cli sequences as shown in the demo (which are only better than the gif alternative). The TUI version should be their primary demo!

Looks cool, but produce GIFs? Asciinema is text based IIRC. The name is the downside of Asciinema IMO. Can’t help but read it as ASCII enema, which is funny, but not what I want think about. Just call it tty-player or something…
Did someone say titty player?
This is a really nice, and very compact, way of demonstrating the terminal in action. I used it to show off my 2002 version of ASCII pacman game, since no one's going to bother compiling it, and it'll eventually end up with bitrot. You can see me playing it (really badly!) at https://asciinema.org/a/723703
I'd probably be the idiot who types pacman and wonders why it's trying to update my system instead of starting the game.
I've found asciinema pretty cool and recorded a few recordings of things I've done, like some experimental Emacs commands, a computer algebra system, a Unicode Tetris game in ARM assembly, and a minimal roguelike: https://asciinema.org/~kragen . These are not the most spectacular recordings on the site, but I have found them a useful way to communicate ideas. I wish there was some kind of voiceover support. One thing…
upload is a separate command.
Useful tool, but I can't help reading the name as "ASCII Enema" every time I see it.

script session.log
... to be invaluable, especially when documenting commands that will be finding their way into a bash script or when I am collaborating with another person who will always have script available in their terminal but may have restrictions on being able to install asciinema.

That is so shady.

... I'll see myself out.
