Recently, TV3 has become the first Malaysian TV channel to produce a series entirely generated by AI. The animated series Misteri di Sebalik Order began airing on TikTok on September 6. So, what should you know about it?

An AI generated content approved by the national TV station

For your information, the first episode is 1:54 minutes long and follows the life of Cap, a capybara who works as a food deliveryman. Cap falls in love with a customer who orders food named Meknab, but there is something wrong with this rabbit-like character.

This is not the first time

Notably, this is the third time that we know of that the Media Prima group has used AI in their production. In 2023, FlyFM introduced Aina, the first AI radio DJ in Malaysia and earlier this year, the visuals for the Azan call on TV3 and TV9 were also generated by generative AI.

Moreover, after a few days of being exclusively aired on the TikTok channel @aiseyymentv3_, the Misteri di Sebalik Order series received negative reactions from viewers. On social media, netizens criticised the use of AI, while in Malaysia, there are many artists who can be used.

Additionally, the reaction received by TV3 was different from the KRU group, who were the first in Malaysia to produce an AI-generated music video. The fact is that the use of AI in production will become commonplace in the near future.

Besides that, Netflix used it this year to produce special effects scenes for the series The Eternauts at a much lower cost. Disney has tried but dared not use it in an actual production because they did not want to be criticised by the public.
