Cosmic Birth (1968) and other A.I. creations

[claws]

I asked A.I. to combine Rosemary's Baby and 2001: A Space Odyssey into one movie.

Cosmic Birth (1968)

Synopsis:

In Cosmic Birth, an ordinary couple, Rosemary and Guy, are selected for a mysterious government mission to live on a newly discovered space station orbiting Jupiter. Unbeknownst to them, the station is run by an enigmatic group of scientists with an agenda far beyond scientific exploration. Rosemary becomes pregnant under suspicious circumstances, and as the pregnancy progresses, she experiences increasingly strange and disturbing visions linked to a monolithic structure onboard the station. The structure appears to influence the crew, unlocking advanced knowledge and guiding humanity toward its next evolutionary phase.

As Guy becomes more distant, seduced by promises of power from the station's leaders, Rosemary uncovers the horrifying truth: her child is destined to be a cosmic being, engineered by an ancient alien intelligence. With time running out, she must navigate the vast emptiness of space, the treachery of those around her, and the growing malevolent force within her.

A gripping fusion of psychological horror and science fiction, Cosmic Birth explores themes of control, evolution, and the dark possibilities lurking in the far reaches of space.

That actually sounds better than both movies by themselves.

Blending The Shining (1980) with Friday the 13th (1980)

Title: The Haunting of Camp Blood

Synopsis:
In The Haunting of Camp Blood, a family is hired as caretakers of the once-popular Camp Crystal Lake, now abandoned and shrouded in dark rumors. Jack Torrence, an aspiring writer, his wife Wendy, and their young son Danny arrive to spend the winter maintaining the camp, hoping for a quiet, peaceful retreat. However, the camp holds terrifying secrets from its violent past—one that involved the tragic drowning of a boy named Jason, whose vengeful spirit is said to haunt the grounds.

As the snow traps them in isolation, the sinister influence of the camp begins to twist Jack's mind, driving him into a violent rage. Meanwhile, Danny, who possesses psychic abilities, starts experiencing disturbing visions of Jason's mother, Mrs. Voorhees, and the brutal murders that once plagued the camp. The spirits of both Jason and Mrs. Voorhees rise from the depths of Crystal Lake, influencing Jack to commit acts of unspeakable horror.

Wendy must now protect Danny from both the wrath of her increasingly unhinged husband and the malevolent forces of the camp. With blood-soaked visions and echoes of past murders haunting their every step, the family finds themselves trapped in a deadly game, where the line between supernatural terror and psychological breakdown blurs.

A chilling blend of psychological horror and slasher violence, The Haunting of Camp Blood explores the darkness lurking in both the human mind and cursed grounds.

That looks fun.  Let me try one. 


Title: Alien Resurrection: The Robot Monster Wars

In a remote desert, a small town suddenly becomes the epicenter of an intergalactic catastrophe. Strange lights appear in the sky, and soon, the dead begin to rise from their graves, driven by an otherworldly force. Unbeknownst to the townsfolk, an alien ship has crash-landed nearby, piloted by Eros and Tanna, whose mission is to turn humanity into a zombie army.

Meanwhile, Ro-Man, a monstrous robotic alien, detects the ship's crash and sees it as an opportunity to fulfill his mission of annihilating the human race. With his deadly "Calcinator Death Ray," he begins his assault, but quickly realizes he must contend with the zombies as well.

Caught in the middle are our heroes: Jeff, a resourceful pilot, and Alice, a brilliant scientist. Together, they discover the key to defeating both alien threats lies in an ancient artifact hidden in the town's abandoned mine. This artifact has the power to disrupt the alien technology controlling the zombies and weaken Ro-Man's defenses.

As the town descends into chaos, Jeff and Alice race against time, battling zombies and avoiding Ro-Man's traps. They manage to retrieve the artifact and, in an epic showdown, use it to pit Eros's zombies against Ro-Man. Explosions and laser battles ensue as the two alien forces clash.

In the final battle, Jeff and Alice set the artifact to overload, causing a chain reaction that destroys the alien ship and Ro-Man's base. The explosion wipes out the zombies and sends the invaders packing. As the sun rises, the town is in ruins, but humanity has triumphed.

And just as the credits are about to roll, a lone Ro-Man helmet flickers to life, hinting at a lurking threat. But that's a story for another day.

Cue dramatic music and roll credits.

Laughing Blood: Folie à Dux in the Kumite

In Laughing Blood: Folie à Dux in the Kumite, two contrasting worlds collide when Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker (Joaquin Phoenix), finds himself drawn into the underground martial arts circuit known as the Kumite. After facing personal devastation and unable to contain his anarchic, violent tendencies, the Joker sets his sights on the ultimate arena of brutality. Meanwhile, Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), an elite fighter known for his honor and resilience, also enters the tournament to defend his title. What follows is a twisted psychological game as the Joker brings psychological chaos to a space once defined by rules and tradition, challenging Frank not only to fight but to confront his own inner demons.

Director Todd Phillips leans into a surreal style, blending the gritty realism of Joker with the intense action sequences of Bloodsport. The Kumite arena, reimagined with sinister neon lights and pulsing with dark, carnival-like music, becomes a stage where the Joker's mind games and Frank's pure physicality clash spectacularly. Phoenix and Van Damme give electrifying performances, Phoenix with his unhinged, haunting unpredictability and Van Damme with his steely-eyed focus, fighting both Joker and his own confusion as he's forced into Joker's psychological labyrinth.

While some fans may find the mash-up bewildering, Laughing Blood manages to deliver an unexpectedly cohesive experience that bridges intense physical combat with psychological drama. The fight scenes are raw and tense, infused with Joker's sense of horror and Dux's sense of honor, creating an experience both exhilarating and unsettling. Phillips challenges viewers to see heroism and madness as two sides of the same coin, as the film spirals toward an ambiguous conclusion that questions the very nature of violence, freedom, and survival.

My biggest fear: my writing is so mediocre, I'm afraid I'll fail the Turning Test.

AI stories kinda feel like Whitman Publishing's old kiddie novels based on TV shows. Acceptable, but shallow. They can be fun if the subject interests you, but otherwise aren't worth much.

I do think the current crop of AI systems are over trained; they can't produce emotional works because real emotion risks hurting someone's feelings. I tried to get a system to make a story about a dog who attacked someone; it did, but it had trouble following through to the inevitable conclusion. It always tried to turn away, to create an ending where the dog was successfully retrained to be nice.

Billy 4.1, the most recent one, still works on Windows 10. It's interesting, but produces some hard to follow text. On the plus side, it's not based on data scraped from wherever. It learns when you talk to it, but you can also "teach" it with plain text files. You can save & load different "minds," since its output changes based on how it's trained.
