Absolutely disgusting. I was too busy to patch youtube for my dad this one time and he's completely sucked into AI generated shorts. Every time I see him, he's watching AI generated shorts. I've been blocking that shit for him for years.

Did I understood right or it is human-made slop vs machine-made slop?
When someone focuses on quantity, the quality is usually missing
These microdramas are hugely popular. If you sit the MTR or bus in Hong Kong, almost all of the middle aged uncles and aunties are glued to their phones watching this slop.
Shitty but I’m not surprised; the way the production company sees it they’ve cut out the most expensive part - the talent. Now it’s all “Ai.” And it never gets sick or hungry or tired or comes in hungover.
I do not agree with getting rid of the talent at all, but, well, here we are.
Is there any need for talent in "microdrama"? You can make wires with gold, but copper is cheaper and more effective.
