First AI-generated rom-com is due this summer -- and the trailer puts Hallmark Channel to shame

TCLtv+ teases AI romcom.

Many actors, artists and writers are rightly worried about generative AI taking their jobs, but so far we haven't seen a major entertainment company release a feature-length film that is all or even mostly AI-generated. That's about to change. Today TCL, a company known for its connected TV sets, dropped the trailer for its first original feature: an AI-generated romantic comedy called "Next Stop Paris" and it's . . . quite something to look at.

The film is due out this summer and will air on the company's TCLtv+ free streaming app, which is available on TCL televisions with Google TV OS (the company's Roku-based TVs have a similar app called "TCL TV"). Right now, TCLtv+ offers a number of FAST (Free Add-Supported TV) channels like those you can find on other apps such as Roku TV, as well as some free, on-demand movies. Next Stop Paris will be its first piece of original content.
