Itās like an Adam Sandler movie, but funny!
Still a more coherent film than āPrometheusā.
I thought that the word garbage was quite effective at creating an alienating feeling; almost like listening to a language you are not fluent in, or speaking to a teenager.
āAward-winning short sf film written by an AI is pretty goodā - No. The actors do a great job communicating feeling, personal dynamics and a semi-plot while reciting the nonsense the AI wrote.
Agreed, the writer is basically just a chatbot spitting out sentences that are mashups of SF screenplays without a plot or character building.
The surreal part comes from the cast and crew having to work with nonsense sentences like ātakes his eyes out of his mountā.
Makes me think of the good olā days when the spambots would attempt to fool filters by including a few paragraphs of gobbledygook. They donāt do that anymore, do they?
Itās like a 5 year old who knows sentence mechanics ā cute as a baby crocodile that will grow to the size of an aircraft carrier.
Heck, itās not even particularly good for a script produced by software. I donāt know what kind of software they were using, but Iāve seen better output from dumb Markov chain scripts. Although it was interesting to see the actors take on the nonsense script, itās kind of disappointing that the āfirst movie written by an āAIāā is just gibberish.
You probably have. But not consistently.
Recursive Neural Network with Long Short-Term Memory (RNN LSTM):
The first link is for those of you who either know or are interested in RNN LSTM applications; the second is for those of you who are not.
Ross throws a lot of his code onto Github, but if thereās a specific source for this itās not there. More importantly, his data-set aināt there, and thatās what I want. His RNN has to run on todayās version of the supercomputer ā a whole lotta high-end graphics cards. Somebody reading this post could afford to build such a system, but not I.
Although interesting to an extent, I think it is just spam-bot gibberish enlivened by a game cast and crew. My breath continues to be not held in anticipation of the Singularity turning the whole universe into an Ice-cream sundae in the next couple of decades.
The team of monkeys on typewriters also had a good contender in the works but couldnāt complete it by the deadline.
The problem with gibberish is you canāt tell if it was produced by a smart system or a dumb one. That LSTM-produced folk song, on the other hand, is awesome.
Iām going to see my soul
Iām trying to be free
I can take you through the way you do
And Iām gonna lay down the river in the sky
Iām a man and I wonāt be on your hand
And if I was moving at the street
I want to be a pretty little girl
I canāt stand the way that I canāt leave me
And I canāt be really walking on
I will be all right
Itās gibberish, but itās less gibberish-y than ever before.
Without adding in special code to do script markup for characters, descriptions, etc. - the RNN LSTM does that all automagically.
Thereās virtually no way, except outrageous chance or ridiculous settings*, for a markov engine to do that.
* say, setting the n-gram length to be equal to the numbers of words in the source-script. The engine will output the input. Much in the same way LenPeg is the ultimate compressor for the Lenna image.
They were too busy churning out some potboiler about a prince who canāt get off his ass and do shit.
'Twas ever thus.
I say it here, I say it now: AI will be driven by advertisers so that we sit on our asses consuming junk, moving nothing, and failing to reproduce. It is the end of humanity.
Me excluded.
Nah, after a few years of no births the advertisers will figure out their market is shrinking, and start encouraging reproductive sex. But only among those most susceptible to advertising.
Oooh! Evolutionary selection of couch potatoes!

Still a better love story than Twilight.
Pair that with a computer generated tune from a neural network trained on just the right mix of music and you have a hit! Perhaps get the neural network trained on Blade Runner to do the music video.
