Filmmaker Ari Kuschnir uses AI to cast Altman, Zuckerberg and Trump in fake infomercials
Veteran director Ari Kuschnir is producing hyperreal AI-generated video shorts that mimic classic late-night infomercials, but instead of selling kitchen gadgets, they cast tech and political figures like Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump as pitchmen for their own real-world visions. The shorts exaggerate their promises into absurd, dystopian sales pitches, blending satire with the manufactured urgency of traditional infomercial tropes.
