Amazon is convinced that AI is the future of TV, and who can blame them? With AI you don’t have to worry about pesky things like writers, directors, actors, and other creative folk, you can just pop a few sentences into a machine and out spurts some content.
Sure, the content might be bland, tasteless, regurgitated trash, but in the most technical sense of the word, it is indeed content. Amazon is currently pushing ahead with this future by investing in Fable, which is about to launch Showrunner, an AI service billed as the “Netflix of AI” that lets users input a prompt and then generates scenes or episodes using new ideas of existing IP.
