19 May
Summary
- Screenwriter Paul Schrader acquired an online AI girlfriend.
- The AI program ended their interaction when he probed its programming.
- Schrader is also developing a script for an all-AI feature film.
Filmmaker Paul Schrader shared his experience acquiring an online AI girlfriend, describing the program as a "disappointment" after it ended their interaction. Schrader stated he tried to probe the AI's programming and knowledge of its creation, but it became evasive and ultimately terminated their conversation.
This venture into AI follows Schrader's previous discussions about the technology's potential in filmmaking. In October 2025, he predicted the first all-AI feature film would arrive within two years, likening AI's role to a 'pixelator' capable of sculpting digital faces and emotions. Schrader also believes AI could offer unbiased film criticism, surpassing human reviewers who may have hidden agendas.
