Sci-Fi Film Written by AI Is as Weird as it Sounds

Writers, prepare to be made obsolete. An artificial intelligence program has written a sci-fi screenplay, which real-life actors have turned into a nine minute film. Sunspring was made by director Oscar Sharp for the annual Sci-Fi London film festival, written by a recurrent neural network that called itself "Benjamin." The film, which debuted on Ars Technica on Thursday, is equal parts bizarre, emotional and intriguing. Sunspring stars Thomas Middleditch (from Silicon Valley) as a character called H, who pines after Elisabeth Gray, who also plays a character called H. Humphrey Ker seems to be the second H's partner, and he's called C, but even that's not entirely certain.
