Short – Good Evening and Welcome to Television: The Real Story Behind An AI Slop Promo

This week marks the 70th anniversary of regular television broadcasting in Australia.

In this short, we look at the strange evolution of Australian TV, which started in colonial times. It’s a rich history, and one that deserves better than cheap slop that flattens understanding.
