[ExI] A short movie I created (with the help of AI)

[Jason Resch]

I gave Claude Opus a book: Finding Myself
<https://www.pdcnet.org/pdc/BVDB.nsf/item?openform&product=publications&item=zuboff>
and
asked that it write a daramtization of it, in a screen play of about 15
minutes long, focused on one character working through each of the thought
experiments in a vivid, emotionally compelling way.

I then took that screen play to another AI service (Utopai) that takes
scripts, and converts them into shots that can be generated in 4-15 second
chunks. It is a bit rough around the edges, and it was both expensive, and
frustrating when the generations did not align with expectations, but after
several days I was able to stich together enough workable scenes into a
fairly nice piece.

The author of Finding Myself is incredibly happy with the accurate
portrayal of the thought experiments, and thinks this will bring much more
attention to his ideas. The following is the result:

All in, the cost was less than $1,000 to produce this 22 minute video. I
think Hollywood's days are numbered.
