AI迷你剧(又称水果剧)是近期在社交媒体上兴起的短篇生成式AI视频系列,以拟人化角色为特征。本文认为,尽管其外表看似无害,但这些视频重复了深层的性别化叙事结构:女性角色被系统性地与道德越轨、情感背叛及生育能力绑定;部分情节还编码了种族化逻辑,即通过可见的身体差异赋予道德意义。结合女性主义电影理论、批判种族理论与平台研究,本文指出,这类视频的生成式AI美学——以柔和、圆润和视觉可爱为特征——构成一种审美洗白机制,消解了叙事背后的思想重量,使其得以绕过内容审核系统广泛传播。研究基于个人观察与细读,反思生成式AI的技术特性如何使这一现象既成为可能,又对计算创造力领域产生深远文化影响。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
AI minidramas (also known as fruit dramas) are short, algorithmically distributed generative AI video series featuring anthropomorphized characters that have recently emerged as a widespread phenomenon on social media platforms. This paper argues that despite their seemingly innocuous aesthetic, these videos reproduce deeply gendered narrative structures in which female characters are systematically associated with moral transgression, sexual betrayal, and reproductive capacity, and that several plots also encode the logic of racialization, i.e., the process by which visible bodily difference is morally loaded. Drawing on feminist film theory, critical race theory, and platform studies, it further argues that the generative AI aesthetic of these videos, characterized by softness, roundness, and visual cuteness, functions as a mechanism of aesthetic laundering, neutralizing the ideological weight of these narratives and enabling their circulation despite content moderation systems. This paper approaches these questions through personal observation and close reading, reflecting on the specific affordances of generative AI that make this phenomenon both possible and culturally consequential for the field of computational creativity.
