Will 'The Comeback' Season 3 Predict the Future of TV With AI? Odds Are, Yes

>Valerie’s new show, *How’s That?!,* openly celebrates its back-to-basics concept, with a live studio audience, catchphrases, hokey jokes. Even legendary sitcom director James Burrows, who worked with Kudrow on *Friends* and has appeared as himself in each season of the *The Comeback*, is on board to make the pilot. The only thing missing from *How’s That?!* are writers. Instead, an AI program spits out corny scripts in hours — not weeks — because NuNet wants to create a show that is *just* engaging enough for people to “leave on while they’re doing… whatever,” as one network employee puts it. The goal isn’t to make something great but make something “good enough.”

Networks already found a way to cut costs and not pay creatives by fueling the rise of reality TV (which they tackle in The Comeback season 1). This is now the next version of that but, you know, worse because it's AI. For streaming services where content is king I can see AI shows being very appealing, maybe funnel all their resources into a few actually decent projects that people subscribe to their service for and then..flood the rest with AI slop? Seems kinda risky tho. Btw if you're reading this and you've never seen The Comeback but wonder if you should watch it...yes b**** u should!
