Back to Alexandria
The film mixes artificial intelligence and the work of German filmmaker Werner Herzog, with a screenplay generated by AI. A factory worker dies under mysterious circumstances. Our narrator, film director Werner Herzog, travels to investigate his death. But Herzog is not who we think he is, nor the film what we expect. The film's narrative is based on a script written by an AI trained on Herzog's collected works. While the documentary part reflects on this controversial practice. As Herzog says: "A computer will not make a film as good as mine in 4,500 years." The documentary mixes AI-generated elements with real interviews to explore the boundaries between artificial intelligence and human-made art. —DR
