Artificial Intelligence Writes 'Sunspring' Sci-Fi Short Film Starring Thomas Middleditch [WATCH]

Silicon Valley's Thomas Middleditch stars in a strangely dark but hilarious sci-fi movie written by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that was created by filmmaker Oscar Sharp and his technologist collaborator Ross Goodwin. CBS News reports how the duo wanted to build a machine that could write screenplays, so they took hundreds of popular sci-fi TV and movie scripts and programmed them into an artificial intelligence Long Short-Term Memory (LTSM) neural network that they originally named Jetson. Ironically, Jetson asked to be addressed as Benjamin instead. "Sunspring" is the first movie written by artificial intelligence https://t.co/MhPA74XGm6 Benjamin is the first AI to write the script of a sci-fi film.
