After binge-watching several AI short dramas on Chinese short-video platforms, viewers may find themselves wondering whether they have accidentally stumbled into the same show again.
The phenomenon of AI characters sharing near-identical faces has become so noticeable that Hongguo Short Drama, a micro-drama platform operated by ByteDance, has moved to rein it in.
Hongguo recently issued a notice calling for creators of AI dramas to avoid using highly similar facial appearances across different productions and characters, warning against a "one-size-fits-all" approach to character design. 
The platform also said it would launch a special campaign targeting frequently used AI faces, homogenized content and unauthorized materials.
"Men, women, young and old are all using the same face. It's starting to give me the uncanny-valley feeling," one viewer commented on the social media Sina Weibo.
Another complained that AI characters seemed to make exactly the same facial expressions whenever they spoke, while others said watching several dramas in succession with nearly identical female leads gave them an unsettling sense of "something human, but not quite human."
    Screenshots of the short drama videos featuring AI characters sharing near-identical faces A comparison of several AI short dramas, including Twilight in Later Years, Mother-in-Law's Awakening and Shedding the Burden to Find Myself, shows their middle-aged female protagonists feature similar straight eyebrows and large double eyelids, while their smiles and crying expressions can also appear strikingly alike.
The platform said creators should conduct self-checks and promptly modify or replace problematic content. The upcoming campaign will specifically target "high-frequency AI faces," homogenized character designs and violations involving source materials.
A commentary published by the People's Daily newspaper in early August noted that AI micro-dramas had accounted for more than 95 percent of newly released micro-dramas over the previous six months, while their total viewing volume still lagged far behind that of productions featuring human performers. 
The commentary argued that mass-produced, visually similar AI content could actually strengthen audiences' appetite for more authentic storytelling and distinctive characters.
Platforms are therefore beginning to add more checks before AI productions reach audiences.
On August 3, Douyin Group's Short Drama Creator Center launched a pre-screening tool for AI drama copyright holders and directors. With it, eligible creators can upload promotional and production materials as well as completed works for preliminary checks on potential infringement before release.

三 | 此外，今年上半年发生1万6396起闯红灯案件，年比微减0.8%。

四 | 引发交通事故的闯红灯案件则减少14起，到45起，致命事故从七起减少到四起。超速个案则大幅增加超过四成，共有7万7700多起，这主要因为当局加大执法力度，包括在今年4月启动闯红灯摄像机的侦测超速功能。超速引发的车祸年比减少两成，到266起，但所引发的致命车祸却增加一倍，到25起。另外，今年上半年的酒驾事故共有96起，年比增加近一成。当中有九起为致命车祸，比去年多一起。

五 | 因酒驾被捕的违例者有812个，年比减少约5%。

六 | 警方说，涉及年长行人和摩托车骑士的车祸仍是关注焦点，他们在伤亡车祸中的占比较大。其中，因车祸死亡的行人中，年长者占超过四成（42.9%），而且当中约四成是因为他们乱过马路所导致的。不过，整体来看，涉及年长行人的车祸总体下滑22.1%，今年上半年共有95起。在车祸中丧命的年长人士减少六成，到六个；受伤人数也减少近两成，到87个。涉及摩托车的交通事故增加3.3%，到1902起，占总车祸数目的一半以上。其中，在车祸中死亡或受伤的骑士和后座乘客都增加，死亡人数增加四成，到45个，占致命车祸总数的六成；受伤人数则增加5%左右，到2159个。
