The AI made a whole film about a book no one can read

He gave the AI a one line brief and only encouragement while it worked, with no notes on the finished film. The AI picked the Voynich manuscript, checked its numbers against published research, and made a four minute film, all 7,417 frames drawn in code.

How it works

  1. Gives the AI a one line brief
  2. The AI fetches 36 pages of the manuscript from Yale's library
  3. It works out the numbers from the transcription and checks them against published studies
  4. It writes the script and makes the voice, the music and every frame in code
  5. The finished film runs 4 minutes 7 seconds

Why it’s worth knowing

No camera, no video editor and no stock footage. Every frame, the voice and the music were made by code in one session.
