Still from the film
 

Watch the first film written by a computer algorithm

 We see H pull a book from a shelf, flip through it while speaking, and then put it back.

H: In the future with more unemployment, young people are forced to sell blood. That’s the first thing I can do.”

And so begins the script of Sunspring – a romance, mystery, sci-fi film written by an artificial intelligence algorithm that named itself Benjamin.

The film is a sci-fi look into our own future perhaps, a world in which even our movies are computer generated.  However, as you can tell from the film, this future is not here yet. The film doesn't make a lot of sense and the dialogue sounds very unnatural.  For now, the computers should keep their day job and leave the screenwriting to us humans, but not for long.

The Star Ledger joins more than 2,400 other newspapers in the United States that have gone out of business in the last decade. The legacy media is in trouble. And because the legacy media is in trouble, the nation is in trouble.
