hollowgeneration

Hello Mr. Lussenhop. My name is Taylor and I'm a fifteen year old film student making a documentary about whether or not humans will forsake the human touch and embrace art created by machine. You said you're a "editor, writer, musician, etc." but now that computers can provide creative content as good as any human, are you worried? Do you think people will embrace computer generated art? Thanks a bunch!

Of course and I've come to warn you, my friend.

Dear Mr. Jonze, My name is Taylor and I am a 15 year-old High School student from New York City. Just recently I was invited to attend the Reel Works Teen Filmmaking Program and as part of my participation in the program I have to make a ten-minute documentary titled Generation Hollow. With A.I. making its presence felt in the world of the arts it concerns me that we will forsake the human touch and embrace art created by machine. It worries me that computers are developing a voice. They are creating works filled with emotion, heart and depth. If a computer can provide creative content as good as any human, will we embrace it? Is it wrong to do so? Is it healthy? Will the artists of the future be software programmers? Those are a few questions my documentary will explore. What I witnessed in your movie is something I like to call... Generation Hollow, a generation of people who would rather interact with machines than other humans. I know this is a lot...but this subject is so important to me and if you could provide me with some of your feedback, I know it will help my project tremendously. Thank you, Mr. Jonze!

Mr. Jonze, with Her you examine the future of relationships. A.I. as one half of a couple. I could only imagine how much thought you put into this work. My goal is to craft important stories as you do, but technology frightens me with A.I. advancing exponentially. Is there a place for me in the filmmaking future Computers can write books and poems, compose original music, create paintings and much, much more. Your character, Charlie Kaufman, might have written his screenplay with ease if artificial intelligence was as advanced back in 2002. As you know, CGI can create totally believable human beings. It has the potential to eventually replace real life actors.
