005 - A REVIEW of the generative AI streaming platform, JARS AI.
The Pitch
JARS AI is a web-based streaming platform that creates real-time 3d generated TV episodes based on your text prompts. It’s Twitch meets Chat-GPT.
The Experience
Getting Started With JARS AI
JARS AI reminds me of a scaled-down version of TWITCH.tv. It has a similar interface but is stripped of all but essential functionality. You pick a channel category and can start watching the infinitely streaming content.
Engagement is at the heart of JARS AI. As you watch a channel, you can enter a subject prompt. JARS AI then weaves a fully dialogued episode around your prompt. The available channels span from a dynamic newsroom with two news anchors to a courtroom that delves into an infinite array of cases based on user prompts.
The episodes are structured to run endlessly, and their topics are changed based on a prompt. For example, there is an endless newsroom channel where 3D AI news anchors will talk about whatever they are prompted on (for better or worse). The results are often hilarious in a surreal way.
Overall, playing around with JARS AI was a simple experience. It felt less like a product and more like something to kill time with and get lost in the hilarious effect of prompted-gen AI.
The Verdict
Why Should You Care
These experimental uses of AI excite me about technology and its role in content creation and entertainment. I had a lot of fun noodling around with the different channels on JARS and can see the potential if/when the platform matures. That said, there needs to be more instruction on how to create your show or channel on the platform. My initial impression is that you are currently limited to just interacting with the existing shows available. I’ll keep an eye on this one as we are now seeing a rise in user-generated gen AI content creation.
JARS AI Facts:
Free to create an account and use
Limited to only a handful of shows centered around open-ended themes
If you can get past crude 3D NPC animations and AI voices, you’ll get a chuckle out of the content
Not entirely clear on how to create your own show from scratch
No onboarding instruction on how to use JARS AI and all its features
