AI tools can explore the ethics of AI itself, says Lavie Tidhar. His new dystopian film uses AI image-generation program Midjourney to tell the story of a well-meaning artificial intelligence trying to help the last surviving human
. But when Yaniv approached him about yet another project, creating something using the AI image-generation program Midjourney, he said yes – with a few conditions.– which you can watch below – is an unsettlingly surreal short film, set in a future in which the world has been destroyed, but one human has been found by an apparently well-meaning artificial intelligence, which is keen to help – to the best of its ability.
Yes. I had to write directions into the shooting script. What sort of images, what sort of feeling they need to evoke. Nir then sat for three whole days and generated 1000s of images. I don’t know how he didn’t go mad. A lot of it was about actually sort of forcing the AI into the right place. I think Nir used himself as a seed image for some images for the human.
These AI systems, they don’t have creativity. They have to be directed to do anything, they can’t come up with anything new. I don’t worry about any other writer on the planet, I don’t constantly worry that I’m in competition with the 8 billion people who might be better than me at writing, because the only thing that you can bring to any kind of art is yourself. It’s that unique point of view. And these tools don’t have that.
No – but I think it was fun to play with. I thought the result was really interesting and we wanted to jump in on the conversation while it was happening, because it’s moving so fast.
