character.ai is making tv shows, but the cast is entirely hallucinated

character.ai released three ai-produced microdramas—romance title 'last summer', horror show 'the nighttime game', and survival series 'eden fall'—allowing users to chat with characters and influence storylines. the company utilizes ai production tools for these shows and intends to eventually refine these workflows into user-facing creator tools for generating original series. this expansion follows recent entertainment-focused features like lorebooks and 'c.ai reads', with data showing users spend 950 minutes monthly on the platform. the move positions character.ai at the intersection of generative ai media and interactive entertainment.
