TCL TVs will use films made with generative AI to push targeted ads
TCL to “heavily promote” original short films with gen AI animation, characters.
I can't wait to be assaulted by a deluge of shitty B movies, made even worse by AI slop and then rolled in targeted ad dog shit.
Some B-movie are actually pretty good have interesting concepts. Even the bad ones can have redeeming quality (80s aesthetic).
The clips in the article are about as generic as you can get.
I've watched a few B-movies where I've actually recognized explosions or car crashes being stolen licensed from better movies from years ago, which I guess is what AI video is doing in a way, but at least there was a crew with effects and stunt people involved the first time.

Love how all this AI-generated garbage is turning out to be a way of replacing human workers/jobs after all. Who says artists can't be replaced? We can try seeing what happens when unlimited monkeys are given unlimited word processors--and they're already marketing the results like it's world changing shit (and perhaps it is, but not in the way that would likely be considered positive)...But we also get the bonus of cinema being reduced to "content" just like every other creative endeavor that used to be the domain of actual creative people.
Now it's just an experiment in seeing how many people they can fool into watching bona fide garbage in exchange for it being "free"
But there are just as many continuity errors in major live action film productions as there are in AI, and it’s probably easier to fix in AI than live action … whether you're making AI or doing live action, you still have to have enough eyeballs on it to catch the errors, and to think through it, and make those corrections.
This may be the most detached from reality take I've read all week, and it's been a long week. Pure weapons-grade copium
Capitalists spreading the job to hundreds of thousands of people down the line to work for free to fix their garbage they will release with no effort and thinking it's a good thing.
Pretty standard and yet still hurts every time.
