AI in entertainment is a hot topic right now, with Hollywood writers and actors striking over the potential use of AI in the creation of TV and movies. Those striking creatives won't be pleased with the announcement of an AI model that can allegedly “write, animate, direct, voice, and edit” an entire TV show. The proof of concept is a fake episode of South Park.
The episode itself has been posted to Twitter by Fable Studios, alongside a white paper on “Generative TV & Showrunner Agents." The episode itself is 11 minutes long, and briefly showcases the tool (called SHOW-1) used to generate a story using AI. While scripts and visuals are built from a large language model (LLM) and diffusion tools, the user picks characters, locations, and enters a prompt for the AI to work from.
