QbitAI reports that AI-generated variety shows are spreading on Douyin, citing a MrBeast-style AI challenge account with more than 2 million followers and a top video at 1.89 million likes, and an AI reboot of the reality show Bian Xing Ji that gained 127,000 followers from three videos. Both creators make their shows on the AI video platform LibTV, and one says a roughly five-minute episode costs about 2,000 to 5,000 yuan and takes about a week to produce. LibTV has partnered with Douyin's Future Director support program to back AI variety-show creators, with LibTV providing compute, creation tools and promotion and Douyin providing traffic and project entry points.
