TCL's first original movie is an absurd-looking, AI-generated love story

Many major tech companies, particularly those that operate in the TV hardware business, have dipped their toes into original content. Although it's had its own free, ad-supported TV (FAST) channels for a while, TCL is late to that party. Not for much longer though, as the company is set to release its first special, a short romance movie, on TCLtv this summer. There's just one slight hitch: TCL is using generative AI to make original content for its platform, and early signs do not bode well. The company has released the first trailer for Next Stop Paris, which it's calling "the first AI-powered love story."
