[VIDEO] StardustTV released a gay series entirely created by artificial intelligence

The StardustTV platform has launched the series Rivals to Lovers , a gay melodrama about two American football players created with the help of artificial intelligence.

The main characters Lucas and Dylan play on the same team and constantly compete. Lucas thinks Dylan is arrogant and is sure that he is trying to humiliate him. But it quickly becomes clear that behind their conflict lies a completely different story: Dylan has long been in love with Lucas.

The plot, frankly speaking, is not revolutionary. A sports locker room, handsome guys, rivalry, secret crushes - the “enemies to lovers” genre has been worked out to the smallest detail. What is much more interesting is that the leading actors do not exist.

On the StardustTV series page, all episodes are labeled AI. Rivals to Lovers has a total of 61 short episodes .

StardustTV turned out to be quite an interesting platform. He specializes in short vertical series for smartphones. This is a format at the intersection of a regular series and TikTok: instead of 30-50 minute episodes, the story is divided into dozens of episodes of about a minute each.

The catalog includes regular gaming microdramas and stand-alone series created using AI. Relevant genres: romance, mafia, revenge, rich heirs, supernatural stories. Now this set also includes gay romance.

The quality of AI video is still difficult to confuse with a real TV series. In some scenes, the characteristic artificiality of movements and facial expressions is noticeable, the characters look too polished, and certain parts of the image do not behave exactly as physical objects should. But in general, you can no longer watch this as a demonstration of the capabilities of a neural network, but as a series.

We can say (albeit with a stretch) that AI has reached the stage where it can be assembled not into a single video for a few seconds, but into a commercial series of dozens of episodes.

If the production of such stories becomes significantly cheaper, the creators no longer have to prove to a big studio that a series about two men in love will attract a wide enough audience to make the filming worthwhile. True, the downside of affordable production is also obvious: there will be much more cheap and rather template content thanks to AI.

Below you can watch an excerpt from this AI series:

If you still want to know how Lucas and Dylan's relationship ends, the continuation is available on the StardustTV app . True, it works according to the freemium model. To open the next episodes, internal coins are used, which can be purchased or received for viewing advertisements and other actions.

Prices vary by country. On the UK App Store, 500 coins currently cost £4.99 and 2,000 coins cost £19.99. There is also a weekly subscription for £19.99 and an annual subscription. A subscription gives access to all series on the platform.

The series itself is unlikely to make HBO nervous just yet. Although until recently, AI videos were discussed mainly because of extra fingers and strange faces. Now someone is already producing a 61-episode story about two football players in love, and is successfully selling it to viewers.
