SUMMARY
Roku has launched Fairground AI Creator TV, a new free channel that exclusively streams AI-generated movies, shows, and shorts around the clock, interspersed with AI-generated advertisements. The channel, founded by Colin Petrie-Norris, aims to replicate the ad-supported TV model he previously developed with Xumo. While the creators position the content as having attention to story detail and potential future stars, early viewers and critics have widely mocked its low-grade output and unsettling nature.
