Sunspring

Sunspring (2016)

Sunspring es un cortometraje sobre tres personas que viven en un futuro extraño, posiblemente en una estación espacial, probablemente en un triángulo de amor. Sabes que es el futuro porque H (jugado con gravedad neurótica por Thomas Middleditch de Silicon Valley) lleva una chaqueta dorada brillante, H2 (Elisabeth Gray) está jugando con computadoras, y C (Humphrey Ker) anuncia que tiene que "ir al cráneo "antes de meter la cara en un montón de luces verdes. Suena como tu típica película de ciencia ficción B, completa con una trama incoherente. Excepto que Sunspring no es el producto de hacks de Hollywood: fue escrito completamente por una IA. Para ser específico, fue escrito por una red neuronal recurrente llamada memoria larga a corto plazo, o LSTM para abreviar. Al menos, así es como lo llamaríamos. La IA se nombró a sí misma Benjamin.

Curiosidades

Sunspring is a 2016 experimental science fiction short film entirely written by an artificial intelligence bot using neural networks. It was conceived by BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Oscar Sharp and NYU AI researcher Ross Goodwin and produced by film production company, End Cue along with Allison Friedman and Andrew Swett. It stars Thomas Middleditch, Elisabeth Grey, and Humphrey Ker as three people, namely H, H2, and C, living in a future world and eventually connecting with each other through a love triangle. The script of the film was authored by a recurrent neural network called long short-term memory (LSTM) by an AI bot named Benjamin.

Production

Oscar Sharp originally created the film for the 48hr Film Challenge contest of Sci-Fi-London, a film festival which focuses on science fiction. For the challenge, contestants are given a set of prompts (mostly props and lines) that have to appear in a movie they make over the next two days. It eventually contested in the festival and was nominated among the final top ten films

Sharp collaborated with his longtime associate Ross Goodwin, an AI researcher in New York University to create the AI bot, which was initially called Jetson. The bot, which later came to call itself Benjamin, wrote the screenplay including stage directions and dialog. The garbled script was then interpreted by Sharp who directed the actors to construe the plot points themselves and enact the play.

Called the world's first automatic screenwriter, Benjamin is a self-improving LSTM RNN machine intelligence trained on human screenplays conceived by Goodwin and Sharp. It was trained to write the screenplay by feeding it with a corpus of dozens of sci-fi screenplays found online—mostly movies from the 1980s and 90s.
