      I’m so old I remember when articles contained relevant details, such as how many titles shitflix released.

    This is inevitable unfortunately. It is being pushed top-down across the corporate landscape. The people pushing think it’s going to save them money. lol

    “twice as fast and at half the cost of previous options.”

    This means they are going also half the subscription cost any day now, just you wait. It will totally happen. Totally. For sure.

        I remember reading somewhere that Netflix produced shows needs to cater to “second monitor” usage, or passive watching. As in constantly repeating plot points, simpler plot, anything that makes it easy to follow something while doing anything else

        AI slop is just another way they do it. Even better, no need to deal with pesky actor unions or production unions and other such annoying anticapitalist things.

          I once saw a yakuza hitman killed, and then reborn as his arch nemesis’ son. It was the ultimate revenge because he had full access to the breasts of the wife of his nemesis.

          Absolutely hilarious. Not sure if it would have been made without AI being accessible.

      Noup, because LLMs give out avarage based on the training data. If training data is shit, like Netflix’s avarage content already is, it will always give out shit.

    I definitely noticed it when I put on Barbie A Touch of Magic for my daughter to watch one time. The stores in the background had gibberish writing on the store fronts.

    So evidently, people either can’t tell when AI is being used or don’t care when AI is being used.

      They don’t share viewing numbers for a reason.

      We might realize we all only watch 4 shows on repeat and spend the rest of the time scrolling past all the slop.

        Kind of shocking the numbers above don’t say anything about viewership at all, really. Just that the titles exist somewhere.

        But Facedeer is a notorious troll, so his big “gotcha” moment is apparently that people can’t tell or enjoy this stuff. I doubt it. Netflix trash definitely includes $200 million blockbuster flops that nobody knows about (have you or most movie fans ever heard of Fountain of Youth?), that are getting churned out from the back catalog of Skydance, owned by the son of surveillance king Larry Ellison.

        If nobody wants a Guy Ritchie heist blockbuster with John Krasinski and two Star Wars alums including Natalie Portman, who’s to say they “want” anything worse from Netflix?

          A scam is a scam whether or not people realise it’s a scam.

          I actually saw Fountain of Youth. Very weird, had all the right elements, bland as fuck.

      It was always going to be the case that AI additions to media would eventually be unnoticed, it not being declared beforehand out of fear that it will lead to negative reactions is the very telling point.

      People care if it’s used, and those who want to profit from its use by removing artists and other workers know that they can’t profit if we know it’s there.
