Artlist TV is an AI-only streaming channel launching on June 1All the shows have been generated by AIThe reaction from viewers and filmmakers is mostly negative<\/p>\n

If you’ve been rather taken with the AI video slop filling up your social media feeds, there’s soon going to be a way to level up on this kind of content: the Artlist TV streaming channel, launching on Monday, June 1, is made up entirely of AI-generated shows.<\/p>\n

As spotted by filmmaker Jakob Owens<\/a> (via PetaPixel<\/a>), 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<\/a> \u2014 it’s apparently “a dark comedy about the fine art of cleaning up after the worst people in the world”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other shows you can see on the channel website<\/a> 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”).<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 more recently \u2014 AI-generated content.<\/p>\n

“Nobody wants this”<\/p>\n

Take a look at any of the trailers<\/a> for the shows and you’ll see they’re reasonably well done \u2014 albeit with the generic look, polished sheen, quick cuts, and scene-to-scene inconsistencies typical of any video clips generated by AI.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> 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”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AI video making tools, like the recently unveiled Gemini Omni from Google<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
