A short film authored by a recurrent neural network called Benjamin came in the top 10 of the Sci-Fi Hollywood 48 hour film challenge. Sunspring was completely devised from artificial intelligence and showcases a garbled series of mismatched and completely irrational sentences making it certain that artificial intelligence has some way to go before it takes over humans in the creative writing sectors. Ross Goodwin, an AI researcher at NYU, then fed Benjamin with screenplays and films he had found online from the 80s and 90s, teaching the computer to guess what individual word should come up next. The result creates unintentional humour from its jumbled phrasing and deeply intense aura. The film can be seen by accessing the link.
