I can't wait to be assaulted by a deluge of shitty B movies, made even worse by AI slop and then rolled in targeted ad dog shit.

Some B-movie are actually pretty good have interesting concepts. Even the bad ones can have redeeming quality (80s aesthetic).

The clips in the article are about as generic as you can get.

Love how all this AI-generated garbage is turning out to be a way of replacing human workers/jobs after all. Who says artists can't be replaced? We can try seeing what happens when unlimited monkeys are given unlimited word processors--and they're already marketing the results like it's world changing shit (and perhaps it is, but not in the way that would likely be considered positive)...But we also get the bonus of cinema being reduced to "content" just like every other creative endeavor that used to be the domain of actual creative people.

Now it's just an experiment in seeing how many people they can fool into watching bona fide garbage in exchange for it being "free"
