Watching Roku’s AI channel is like eating from a trough

Roku recently added four new channels to its free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) lineup, including a 24/7 stream from Colin Petrie-Norris’ AI startup, Fairground. While the platform aims to capture viewers looking for passive background viewing, the actual programming consists of unpolished, low-quality short-form videos generated by AI. Despite some rudimentary narratives and post-production editing, the content largely resembles the typical visual slop produced by text-to-video models, starkly contrasting with the traditional movies and shows offered on Roku.
