Artlist TV Launches as First All-AI-Generated Streaming Platform

Artlist, a digital asset platform with over 50 million users, is launching Artlist TV on June 1, a streaming service populated entirely by AI-generated shows. The platform promises original series and cinematic stories produced using Artlist's own AI tools and assets. Among the announced shows is 'Terrible People,' a dark comedy about a PR specialist cleaning up after the worst people in the world, advertised on a billboard in Los Angeles. Other series include 'Deception,' about a woman who disappears during an illusionist's act, and 'The Sequence,' about a man experiencing memories that don't belong to him. Filmmaker Jakob Owens publicly criticized the platform, stating he hopes it fails miserably. YouTube commenters expressed skepticism, with one calling the content 'slop' and another noting AI acting remains 'cringe.' Artlist, known for stock footage and templates, has pivoted toward AI in recent years, including launching an AI voiceover generator in 2024.
