Cast

As far as I could tell there is no actual “cast of actors” because all the voices are AI generated.

Review

I can’t find any details of this show on MyDramaList, IMDB or any other websites.

I watched the 13 minute show before reading the synopsis so I had no idea what was going on. It was a badly written show.

Some of the AI was good, some of it was bad. Some of the voices were not in sync with the characters. There were glitches of missing transitions when people were moving, they didn’t flow properly. The technology is there but its not quite working up to scratch yet.

There was a “to be continued” at the end of the show but I will not be watching any more.

Summary

Maybe this was a “show and tell” short detailing what can be achieved with AI but lacked substance. I can only give it 1 out of 5.

Where To Watch

I believe this show is exclusive to iQiyi.
