ChatGPT 4.0 is clearly a moron, and writes with all the verve and attentiveness of the Terminator on Quaaludes. Go to Full Review

If these all sound like humdrum cliches selected from other screenplays basically at random, well, that’s probably because they were. Go to Full Review

R T @AnimalKing Apr 15 Definitely worth watching. While not action-packed, its implications are gripping knowing an AI wrote it. The film delivers great lines, like, "Storytelling isn't about arranging words in an order that makes sense." Ironically, this highlights its main flaw: it has perfect structural "bricks" but lacks the "mortar" of human nuance and strong word choices. I was highly impressed by the AI's imagery: shifting from optimistic daylight to cold nights, using rain for sadness, and physically lowering the protagonist, Jack, to mirror his loss of power. It's fascinating to see the AI tackle real-world controversies, like execs favoring AI for cost-efficiency, and even casting itself as the villain. Still, it lacks minor details. The AI struggles with nuance, obsessing over "perfect," flawless characters. Human co-writers merely provided guidelines and curated options. Lastly, Martin A. Vast Villiger’s music was absolutely perfect, brilliantly amplifying the film's emotions. See more Read all reviews
