TCL's AI-Powered Romance Film Runs Into Technical Troubles
-
TCL is releasing its first original content - an AI-generated short romance film called Next Stop Paris - on its TCLtv+ platform this summer
-
The film uses human writers, actors, and artists, but relies heavily on generative AI to create the visuals and story
-
The trailer for the film looks absurd and unnatural, with weirdly animated characters, bad lip-syncing, and no emotion
-
TCL hopes original content like this will draw users to TCLtv+ and build its brand identity
-
The company plans to make more traditional, non-AI content as well, given the poor quality of its first AI-generated project
