WATCH - Sunspring, A Film Written Entirely By An AI

There's a short science fiction film that just made its debut online;it's about three people living in a dystopian future on a space station. Thomas Middleditch of Silicon Valley fame stars in it, opposite Elisabeth Gray and Humphrey Ker, who could all possibly be in a love triangle. Stuff Hollywood B-movies are made of. It's called Sunspring--and it was written entirely by artificial intelligence (AI). Having been written by a neural network called long short-term memory dubbed Benjamin, the very fact that it's a film penned by an AI makes it compelling to watch. At the helm of the film is director Oscar Sharp, who collaborated with NYU AI researcher Ross Goodwin.
