Watch this short Sci-Fi movie with a script written by an AI

You know when you just keep pressing the predictive text button on your mobile phone and the sentence just starts making less and less sense? Well, that type of functionality isn't just for absurdist poetry, you know; the team behind Sunspring used the same technology -- an LSTM Neural network, to be precise -- to write a screenplay. That is pretty funny in and of itself, of course, but then the team had an even better idea… What if they rounded up some actors (including Thomas Middleditch, who plays Pied Piper's Richard Hendricks in Silicon Valley) and turned it into a real movie? The team fed a ton of Sci-Fi movies into an AI… Then fed it some hallucinogenics and asked it to pen a screenplay. And it is absolutely, gloriously, intensely, bizarrely, completely fascinating.
