No Big Deal review

The characters are dead-eyed waxworks which speak with all the nuance of a satnav. But this AI-created workplace comedy is so bad that even the greatest actors alive couldn’t stop it being unwatchable

No Big Deal review

TL;DR

  • The AI-generated sitcom "No Big Deal" is described as a terrible viewing experience.
  • The show suffers from non-existent shot-to-shot continuity, inconsistent background noise, and characters with lifeless movements and expressions.
  • Characters' lip-syncing is poor, their movements are unnaturally smooth, and they sometimes remain completely still like robots.
  • The dialogue is delivered monotonously, and even simple actions like a fist shake are poorly executed.
  • The show's premise is "The Office meets Dragons' Den" but fails to be funny or engaging.
  • Despite being written by a human, Andrew Dickinson, the AI's execution makes the content unwatchable.
  • The reviewer believes that capitulating to AI-created content is a step towards AI eventually replacing human writers and creativity.
