Well, the future is here. And it's shit. Linked is a 404 Media about TCL's effort (the TV manufacturer) to create a streaming service of their own based on AI-generated "vomit" "content." And 404 co-founder Jason Koebler went to the premiere of their first efforts, which turns out, despite all the talent and money TCL has thrown at this, are unwatchable.
"But this is just the beginning" and "It's only going to get better from here" people say. Well, yes – it's difficult to see how they could get worse. "These tools are inevitable" and "we should get ahead of them" others express. The same has been said about mobile phone cameras, yet their use in Hollywood remains a gimmick.
404 Media really sums up the main prospect of AI-generated slop in this paragraph:
For every earnest, creative filmmaker carefully using AI to enhance what they are doing to tell a better story, there will be thousands of grifters spamming every platform and corner of the internet with keyword-loaded content designed to perform in an algorithm and passively wash over you for the sole purpose of making money. For every studio carefully using AI to make a better movie, there will be a company making whatever, looking at it and saying “good enough,” and putting it out there for the purpose of delivering advertising.
To extract from the article one salient point, if I may, it's that there's a reason the first company to lean hard into AI-generated shows is a company only tangential to the entertainment industry who employs zero creators.
