We know that there will come a day when a lot of jobs could potentially be taken over by robots. After all with robots never needing rest, they don’t complain, they don’t have many demands, it makes sense why robots would be a more efficient employee than a human would. It seems that future isn’t so far off because in this short film titled “It’s No Game”, its script was actually written by AI.

“It’s No Game” is actually not the first AI-written movie as that honor went to a movie titled “Sunspring” which was released last year featuring a character called Benjamin. To create the movie saw director Oscar Sharp and AI researcher Ross Goodwin turn to the use of neural networks and fed it a bunch of sci-fi movies. They also added plot hooks from a writing contest, and from there they had the AI churn out a script.

It get a bit Inception-ny from there but basically the AI from the first movie was then tasked to write the script and lines for David Hasselhoff in “It’s Not Game”. Now if you have a few minutes to spare and you are curious about how well AI can write an entertaining script, then you’ll want to check out the short film above that will hopefully be able to give you an idea of what to expect.

Of course there’s more to a movie than just the script, like directing, camera work, choosing the right cast, and more. The idea isn’t to replace writers, but rather to help them come up with more screenplays in the future.
