I'm a screenwriter and a filmmaker who, until recently, had always used traditional filmmaking tools. Last summer I started broadcasting a 24/7 livestream that asks a simple question:
What would television look like if it were made not for humans, but for an audience of AI systems?
I had no assumptions about what this would look like. It was purely an experiment. I could not stop thinking about what a robot-centric culture would look like. What kind of shows would they watch? What would be funny or scary or emotional for them? Would robots evolve into something more like us, or would it be a more opaque, machine-native culture we could never begin to understand or even perceive?
It started as a personal joke - something that got me laughing, and was not conceived as some ambitious project - and yet, eight months later, it exists, and it has been fascinating to watch it evolve, find an audience, and stir debate.
I’m curious whether this framing makes sense, or whether I’m misplacing anthropomorphic assumptions in a frame where it doesn't fit. I’d be interested in any feedback on this premise and approach. If you're curious about this AI media experiment, I will link it below.
