The debut episode of Green TV’s drama Pamaal has set social media abuzz, not for its story, but for its surprising use of artificial intelligence. The show’s opening scene, which featured an AI-generated audience at an award ceremony, has drawn both applause and criticism from viewers.
From the very first episode, Pamaal attempted to bring innovation to Pakistani television by incorporating AI technology into its visuals. The virtual audience, though creative in idea, looked rather robotic to some viewers. While a few praised the attempt as “a step into the future,” others felt the execution lacked realism.
Soon after the episode aired, users took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube to share their opinions.
- Some fans admired the bold step, calling it “a fresh touch of modernity.”
- Others joked about the AI audience, saying it looked more like a video game crowd.
- A few appreciated Green TV’s willingness to try something new in Pakistani drama production.
A viewer on Reviewit.pk commented, “It’s great to see dramas experimenting with technology, but visual quality matters too.”, summing up the humorous side of audience reaction.
Interestingly, Pakistan has recently been embracing artificial intelligence in multiple sectors. For instance, Punjab has launched an AI-based system to combat smog, aiming to monitor environmental pollution and support cleaner air initiatives.
This trend reflects how AI is gradually influencing both entertainment and public service sectors, reshaping how systems and even stories are built.
As Pamaal continues, fans are eager to see whether the creators will refine their use of technology or stick to more traditional visuals. Either way, the show has already achieved one thing: it got everyone talking about the role of AI in Pakistani entertainment.
