Meet Benjamin, the World's First AI Who Writes Sci-Fi Screenplays
Science-fiction movies written by predictive AI -- the stuff robots once thought they could only dream of doing -- has become a reality. "Sunspring" -- the first ever movie to be made by using an algorithm -- has been produced for the 48-Hour-Film Challenge at the Sci-Fi London Festival. AI researcher Ross Goodwin and filmmaker Oscar Sharp, fed'Benjamin 1980s and 1990s sci-fi screenplays in order to develop the algorithm, using LTSM, Long Short-Term Memory recurrent neural network -- and he must have devoured them as the characters Benjamin came up with for the movie, were called H, H2 and C. According to Ars Technica, "The AI has captured the rhythm of science fiction writing, even if some of Benjamin's sentences are hilariously nonsensical. 'We're going to see the money,' C says at one point." Benjamin's co-creator, Sharp, told Ars Technica that the most interesting part of the experiment was learning about patterns in science fiction storytelling.
