boingboing.net: TV manufacturing conglomerate TCL has just announced plans to release the first ever fully AI-generated TV movie special. It's called Next Stop Paris, because of course it is. Here's the official synopsis (which may as well be AI-generated, if it's not already).

The only reason I am commenting on this is because I cannot for the life of me, see how this could even be remotely successful. I think the trick to the rom-com is essentially avoiding any huge cliches and having using wit to avoid it being completely cheesy and horrible to get through. I feel like it would really take a human to write that careful balance between a soft and fluffy romance versus a cliche copy-paste of romance tropes. And I watched the trailer, for things that I have seen before that have claimed to be AI the trailer for AI is good. But it is still absolutely terrifying and it looks freaky. I do not like AI very much and it makes me nervous, but even that being set aside it just isn’t at the level that would bring in mass amounts of profit like Oppenheimer or Barbie. There is a human artistry to the caliber of current films and productions that this AI trailer and then the movie just simply does not have yet.
Based on the title alone, I really don’t think this RomCom would be any good at all. I have had ChatGPT write a script and story for me before just for fun, and while it was indeed a script, it was a very bad script, with inconsistencies everywhere. I watch the trailer, and you can definitely tell that it was AI, and was very fake, making it very unappealing to me. The whole story just seems like it was written by a 14 year old, and posted on a online site, and is now being made into a shitty, very low budget film. A quote from the article that I absolutely love is “Because surely executives know better than creatives how to, ya know, create things.” I completely agree, and everyone should be doing the things they are good at, and not try new things, because while trying new things is good, this is a very good example and how it could go bad.
