And this, because why-not, a Rom-Com entirely written and generated by AI.
Now, Rom-Coms (Romantic Comedies), they're not my thing. Although I did like "4 Weddings and a Funeral" and "Groundhog Day" - which until this day is still a 5 star movie, regardless of what anyone says.
But this, which bills itself as entirely written by AI and the film *(??? Code?) as well - well, ...
God damn. A hard genre to fail in, but if this trailer doesn't hit all the bases...

This is one of those cases where you should be damn grateful I didn't embed the trailer (because I can't, I upgraded to an unstable version of Joomla!), but - even if I could I'd want you doing that away from here. It looks like fucking hell. You're gonna love it.

Playing with Chat GPT. I need to do this more.
Getting it to generate me JavaScript for Conway's Game of Life. It does so in 3 seconds.
Great. I want the same, but with hexagonal tiles, not squares. And again it does it.
Now, it's not always 100%, and - for example, the hexagonal tiles where not symmetrical or honeycombed like I'd presume. And the code never works the first time it gives it to me, no visual output, and so I have to paste it back with my complaints and it apologizes, corrects the code, then returns it to me. Still damned impressive. And so I make my complaints about the hexagons, again it returns it to me, this time corrected, but not working again, return the code, it apologizes, fixes, and so it's more a lively debate or coaching session with a very competent computer. But in the end I get results that would take dozens of hours were I to attempt this from scratch. Now to add in some more interesting parameters.
I mean, it's still a 'tool' - albeit a very impressive one. But I have to spend more time with this.
I need to start thinking a little bit bigger. The big questions.
So I start it on the lottery. I have a theory, a few theories, but now it's gotten cagey, shy, it's saving up the numbers, lecturing me on morality, how "tough" it is, and - tellingly, I know it's not going to give me nothing.
A few minutes in that direction and I have to abandon it. It's clearly not going to be of any help whatsoever.
Now to start thinking of yet bigger questions, and I have a pile, a whole list of things that could use solving, like my wallet, finances, etc - but - I have to limit myself to an hour a day.

I missed this when it came out, for good reason. I would have hated it. But now, now, there's something beautiful, something insanely comic about this 1987 dystopian view of a future - set in 2017 - wherein everyone still wears lycra, spandex, watches workout videos, where everyone has preposterous big hair, well, and a more than a little bit hilarious. And it's always grand seeing how they viewed 'advanced' technology like computers...
They never get it, never ever.
So, less for the vision of the future, but for a complete vision of the past, 5 stars. And I have to admire the man, I mean, he never could act and yet he made tens of millions acting.
