Did you know that David Hasselhoff's CV goes far beyond his duties as the renowned Baywatch star and a judge on America's Got Talent? Hasselhoff has demonstrated repeatedly throughout the course of a career spanning more than five decades that he is a gifted performer with a wide range of skills. He has a successful track record, to begin with. He became well-known in the 1980s thanks to his portrayal of Michael Knight on Knight Rider, and his popularity grew in the 1990s thanks to his work on Baywatch. Hasselhoff has achieved success as a musician in addition to his acting career, with singles including "Looking for Freedom" and "Hooked on a Feeling."

First it was age-old board games and boring office jobs, but now it seems robots are gearing up to take over Hollywood. Following up the stunning success of its debut short movie from last year, Sunspring, the script-writing artificial intelligence Benjamin is back with yet another sci-fi flick. Directed by Oscar Sharp and starring Baywatch icon David Hasselhoff, It's No Game takes us to an alternate reality where, in midst of heated writer's strike in Hollywood, AI script writers have gradually began to replace human ones. Using an advanced nanobot technology, producers have found a way to channel the inner thoughts and mannerism of the AI writers directly to human actors, causing them to act out borderline non-sensical lines put together by various algorithms trained on Shakespeare, Aaron Sorkin and Golden Age Hollywood movies. Accompanying Hasselhoff in It's No Game's cast are Flesh and Bone's Sarah Hay, The Walking Dead's Thomas Payne as well as Tom Guinee.

Last year, director Oscar Sharp and AI researcher Ross Goodwin released the stunningly weird short film Sunspring. It was a sci-fi tale written entirely by an algorithm that eventually named itself Benjamin. Now the two humans have teamed up with Benjamin again to create a follow-up movie, It's No Game, about what happens when AI gets mixed up in an impending Hollywood writers' strike. Ars is excited to debut the movie here, so go ahead and watch. We also talked to the film cast and creators about what it's like to work with an AI.

Robots are slowly taking more and more jobs -- and soon, they'll come for the writers (gulp). But the video is something of a meta rabbit hole itself, as all of the Hoff's dialogue was written by an AI called Benjamin, which was built to scribe an experimental short film last year. To make Benjamin, Sharp and Goodwin took a neural network, fed it a bunch of science fiction films and dribbled in plot hooks from a writing contest. Then they had it create a script for their sci-fi tale Sunspring, which was released last year. The film, featuring Silicon Valley's Thomas Middleditch, is an enjoyably incoherent mess that somehow gets across its characters' emotional journeys.
