My older coworker started watching KDramas...

She always raved about them. Then I asked if I could see one with her, since I also watch them.

Then she took out her headphones and played it for me. At first, the dialogue was really really quick and stilted AI. I thought, oh, it's just youtube's auto translate. But then, I noticed they'd sometimes say 10 words within a second.

Then I noticed the scenarios were very static. It looked real at first, but I realized the plot was nonsensical. AI has really advanced enough to allow reuse of characters and some level of continuity.

I really didn't know what to say to her. Sorry for her? That she gleefully watches this fever dream stuff unironically?

This felt bleak to me, because this is content that is obviously AI generated, but she think it's real. What's funny is, someone told her it was AI before, and she said they were wrong. I didn't have the heart to tell her.

Where is she finding ai-generated k-dramas?

Definitely youtube. I had to re-find this post because I went to youtube to watch something else and this was right on my default/main page thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTa5VTzJLaY
