Sunspring | A Sci-Fi Short Film Starring Thomas Middleditch

HOW did they not burst out laughing??!

Have the producers of "The Marvels" optioned this yet?

What Beautiful eyes she has.

I have dreams where people speak like this. Even the emotions. And I have no clue what they were about but when they're over and I wake up, I feel exactly like this makes me feel.

This is what I genuinely believe dementia feels like

When nonsense becomes a piece of art ! Obviously the actors play really well and are one of the key of this success but the AI's script is so weird that it becomes captivating .

Virtually unwatchable.

He was a little late and I was just a moment.

"I don't wanna be honest with you"
"You don't have to be a doctor"
🤣🤣🤣🤣

No plot. Badly written characters. It's just an exercise in stringing lines together that aren't even written grammatically correct or making sense. It's weird because the computer AI's I've seen can respond to spoken dialogue with lines that make sense. So AI's can make sense. Just providing an AI program with previously written plots is probably not the way to go. It first has to learn how to understand language. Then understand what plots are. Then understand what characters are. Then a basic writing course to produce scenes that make sense. Maybe an understanding of emotions. What humans instinctively understand when we watch movies - how people interact with each other in various situations - does not come easily to an AI. Numerous educational steps are required to get an AI to write a decent screenplay. More effort required.

The world: AI IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

Meanwhile, AI:

Have you done or worked on an updated version since GPT4?

I hope in the future, that we will be provided a lot of drugs sow e'll be able to "make sense" of this mess.

It sounds like a screenplay written by someone who is autistic but, it works.

will ars technica do a reboot one with current AI tools?

This is so funny to watch in 2023.

I don't know why but I felt that the final monologue made quite a bit of sense. It felt like she was talking about a couple who love each other intensely, while at the same time can't stand the sight of each other.

"And I can get him all the way out here, and find a square and go to the game with him, and she doesn't show up."

I think she's talking about herself being emotionally distant from him. Even when she's with him physically, she isn't "with" him.

"But I'm gonna see him when he gets to me. He looks at me, and he throws me out of his eyes, and then he says he'll go to bed with me"

Hate sex??

Then again, maybe I'm reaching.

Feed this into ChatGPT now and do a comparison, I want to see that!

there is so much "I DON'T KNOW" in this film it makes me laugh, even the AI is confused by itself

This feels like a David Lynch movie

This is the history wrote by an AI?

WOOOW This is freaking good...

“i don’t know what you’re talking about”

6 years later, ChatGPT can ACE screenwriting in the blink of an eye.

Pretty cool! Please, don't do It Again..

Для Бенджамина нет ничего невозможного в плане воображения. Для него всё красиво, так как в картинках нет физики, это полет фантазии. В реальном же мире на нас действуют строгие законы физического мира, поэтому многие явления, которые происходят в данном фильме выглядят очень странными. Мы могли бы использовать некоторые явления происходящие в фильме, как допущения, если бы фильм позиционировался, как фэнтези или какой-то магический мир в котором волшебство, типа Гарри Поттера, где есть волшебная палочка и происходят какие-то необъяснимые явления не поддающимся описанию строгой физики. Но фильм позиционируется как траги-комедия со своеобразным юмором машины. Тут нужно обучать машину. Интересно было бы пообщаться с Бенджамином.

AI did a lot of progress in these 6 years.

bad bad bad bad

This is as good as Orthello, well written for an AI.

Terrible in every way. AI will just never be fulfilling. At least, for those of us who can actually be fulfilled.

thomas middleditch is one of the best actors i have ever seen. his improv stuff is amazing and hilarious also

"i don't want to be honest with you" is a great pickup line

In light of AI latest achievements, this movie is increasingly less funny.

Can anybody make sense of it?

AI has come a very long way in the last 6 years. I really hope people start to remake this idea soon, and then again in another few years when AI technology has had even more advancements.

None of this makes any sense. Is this an SNL skit?

This is the worst writing ever. AI will never replace us.

It’s so odd seeing people trying to find meaning in an exercise. Ok, it’s an AI, keep developing it, but seeing this as a masterpiece is BS to me

Esto es simple y llanamente bizarro, no hay otra forma de describirlo

this is EXACTLY how it feels like when I watch a MODERN Shakespear interpretation!

This shows you that its MOSTLY ALL in the ACTING and SUBTEXT that has almost NOTHING to do with ANY SCRIPT - Actors and the way a director directs them create their own thing regardless of the script text.. and MOSTLY what you feel from any scene is the global primitive language of subtext

You ever wonder if the AI actually got it right and that maybe we are the ones that don’t make sense.

Imagine how hard AI is going to cringe at this, once it becomes fully sentient.

This feels like bad lip reading to me.

The constant "I don't know"'s and "I don't know about any of this" Sounds like the A.I was freaking out at the subject matter and stipulations put on it to create something.

I love it!!!!! It really shows that it’s all about the actors, the director and the interpretation :)

I think the conclusion is this; yes a computer can write a screenplay, but it'll probably be utter nonsense & not worth turning in to a film! 😆 Interesting experiment though. (I clicked like, by the way).

omg brilliant 😆
