synopsis
„The world's first short film to be 100% created, animated and narrated by artificial intelligence,“ proclaims the caption at the beginning and end of the film, which features a cast of touching, seductive and latently aggressive fictional characters generated by the Open AI application DALL-E 2 from a random set of pixel-noises. In their talks, they touch on pressing questions and anxieties about the future of the creative industries and artistic production after they are overwhelmed by the fruits of AI.“AI will not replace you; a person using AI will.” — Rodger Werkhoven
