entirely of AI-generated shows.

As spotted by filmmaker Jakob Owens (via PetaPixel ), the channel has been releasing trailers and promotional adverts in the run up to its full launch. You can see the trailer for one of the shows, Terrible People , here it's apparently "a dark comedy about the fine art of cleaning up after the worst people in the world". Other shows you can see on the channel website include The Sequence ("an ordinary man begins experiencing memories that don't belong to him") and Deception ("a woman disappears on stage during an illusionist's act").

Artlist hasn't come out of nowhere as a company, and apparently has more than 50 million users. It offers a variety of digital assets to users, including stock footage, templates, music, special effects, and more recently AI-generated content. "Nobody wants this" Watch Original Series on Artlist TV | Artlist - YouTube Watch On Take a look at any of the trailers for the shows and you'll see they're reasonably well done albeit with the generic look, polished sheen, quick cuts, and scene-to-scene inconsistencies typical of any video clips generated by AI.

Owens is pretty unequivocal in his assessment."I say this with all due respect," the filmmaker says on his Instagram. "I hope this fails miserably." The YouTube comments under the trailers are pretty much in the same vein, suggesting that the content is "gross", and declaring that "nobody wants this AI garbage" .

AI video making tools, like the recently unveiled Gemini Omni from Google , have certainly come a long way in recent years. They're capable of producing realistic-looking clips that more or less hang together, and can be mildly entertaining.

However, stitching together these clips across the length of an entire TV
show or movie in a convincing way is currently a real challenge for these AI tools. Will you be tuning into Artlist TV once it goes live, or giving it a wide berth? Let us know in the comments below. Follow TechRadar on Google
