Roku has added a new channel called Fairground AI that constantly broadcasts a curated mix of mind-numbing AI slop.

    They’re about to find out the expensive way that nobody wants nor cares about AI-generated “content”.

    It’s really not that long ago that the internet was clamouring over a 24/7 AI slop stream on Twitch. This technology has gone from being the hottest new toy to the most hated thing in the world very quickly.

      I mean even then, theres a significant difference right? An individual, independent streamer doing something kinda novel and shitty vs a large corporation doing something annoying and shitty

    Confined to its own corner, that doesn’t sound half bad. Now I’m curious how you fill 24/7 with AI slop. They basically attached a graphical AI’s output to the network?

    edit: nah, unfortunately not. “According to Variety, the AI content is made by creators that Petrie-Norris found on social media, including Kelly Boesch, Kavan the Kid’s Phantom X Studio, filmmaker Ryan Phillips, Wonder Studios and Massive Studios. If you aren’t familiar with any of those names, consider it a good thing.”

    Here’s a little excerpt not sure if I want to laugh or puke

    Any way to watch a sample of this horror on the internet without signing up or something?
