Check out this rather entertaining talk from GitHub universe about the use of an LSTM to generate a film script: [LINK] and the short film they made, using that script: [VIDEO] (disclosure: i work for github on events/AV)

But this part isn't science fiction, we already have AIs that do this. See AIVA for pretty good musical composition[0], new sites are using AI to write and compress news stories[1], and screeplays are being written via machine learning[2]. Obviously these are still in their infancy, but doesn't this perfectly encapsulate your point? There's not really an interesting story or thought piece there, because people are working on these in all sorts of fields all over the world, today. If we can build AIs that create "good" art, is it much of a stretch to teach a super AI what "better" means? By default a super intelligence doesn't have to start out as super intelligence, just have the capability to improve. [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]

I guess this is close: [VIDEO] . It's a script written by an RNN acted out as a short sci-fi film, and Thomas Middleditch is in it. Don't expect too much, though. I was reading an article on it and was excited to watch it, but it's too incoherent, in the usual fashion of today's RNNs.
