This time around, the family included an intentional AI intro. 

Episode one kicked off with a montage of the Kar-Jenner clan scattered across the globe, with Kendall and Kylie Jenner in France, Kim Kardashian off on a ski trip, and momager Kris Jenner living her best yacht life with a martini in hand.

But rather than immediately diving into the family’s latest antics, the episode cut to a kitchen scene that quickly took a turn for the bizarre.

“Your a thumb!” #thekardashians #thekardashiansseason8 #AI #funny #hulu

“Honestly, sweeties, we think you guys are great, but AI is much easier. We don’t have scheduling conflicts, no glam is necessary and we can cry on cue without messing up our makeup,” AI Kris declares to the family.

Yeah…that AI intro was terrible, awkward, and unnecessary. I almost cut the show off right then. Please don’t do that again. Thanks. #TheKardashians #TheKardashiansHulu

Who approved that AI intro wtf is going on ??? #thekardashians pic.twitter.com/5S51xvsmb3

Not the Kardashians using AI for their season intro 😭😭 idk how I feel about this but we are definitely living in a different world now

They’re clearly parodying the whole situation and making a statement about AI being used on television. This wasn’t some random mistake! the entire thing feels deliberately staged to mock the idea of using AI on a TV show.

Why is everyone acting like they used it and expected no one to notice… using ai was the point. to mock the use of it on tv
