TCL is launching a content production studio to create original TV content for its free, ad-supported service, TCL TV Plus, beginning with "Next Stop Paris," featuring real voiceover actors and AI-created characters. This marks TCL's debut into original movies made with Gen Ai workflows, including text to video and video-to-video technologies, speculated to use tools like RunwayML. The move has sparked discussions on the impact of AI on Hollywood, with TCL's first AI-generated movie described as an absurd-looking love story and an awkward-looking romance film. Critics and tech observers have shared mixed reactions to the quality and execution of these AI-generated originals.
