  • but from AI,

  • and I guess we shouldn't be surprised by that, but there is a new genre known as comic dramas.

  • Short and heavily automated is seeing unprecedented growth.

  • The shocking part perhaps might come from the plummeting production costs and the sheer volume studios can now pump out.
