Tawada, says that in its current state, Furukoto could write a feature film in three days, which begs the question: why did it take three months to adapt the script for “Boy Sprouted”? The robot uses “deep learning” and is nourished by millions of documents on university and research networks, Hiroki Tawada, leader of the Furukoto project, says. “As much as you ask what something means or why it should be a tomato, there is no answer,” says producer Ryohei Tsutsui, who describes the project as a “very Zen” experience that transformed his idea of cinema.įurukoto creates scripts by selecting sentences from a vast catalog of possibilities. This is the big difference with a human,” the filmmaker continues. But an AI has no body and no mind, so they have no intention when it comes to doing something. As much as some say it’s nonsense, it has a meaning. “When a work of art is created, the author dreams up some meaning or message. Watanabe says that 93% of the work is AI content and the remaining 7% was crafted by a team of humans. The adaptation of the script took around three months.

“I was frankly surprised because it was something that could have been written by a person,” she adds. What she doesn’t know is that her son has a tomato plant sprouting on his back.įurukoto, an AI bot developed by the Ales Inc Japanese startup, developed the concept of the short on its own, director Yuko Watanabe, tells Efe. The short depicts a child’s aversion to tomatoes and his mother’s efforts to get him to eat them. “Boy Sprouted”, a 26-minute short, was unveiled at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia which this year explores the theme of meta-cinema. Tokyo, June 3 (EFE).- Furukoto, a Japanese robot, has become the first artificial intelligence machine to write a script for a short movie.
