Hey all! Caleb and Ryan here - indie writer/director duo (and discoverers of) S. A. N.
Since we made this short S. A. N has interacted with thousands of people online and in person, raised over $74k for rainforest conservation, joined the board of advisors for the Rainforest Foundation and was invited to be installed next to the centre Man effigy at Burning Man.
Basically, what we first imagined as fiction has now left the screen into reality which has been super surreal to say the least!
Thank you for diving into our world, feel free to ask any questions.

Sorry. Stilted acting (the interviewer/presenter in particular. Whether it was deliberate or not, it didn't work. Despite some residual curiosity about the way the scientist interrupted some of the AI's responses, I lost interest and gave up when the singing started. If there's some sort of message here, it's put across in a very trite way. Dreadful.

Very strange, but really wonderful and inspirational at the same time in this chaotic time of mass extinctions and careless disregard for nature and ecology! The beautiful, wistful song said it all!

Um, felt like a good start w ChatGPT on everything. Really, it could have been a bit more refined but maybe it was a rush to have an AI generated flick out asap. I’d say it rates at a 1st grade AI attempt

My entire life could be measured in an instant in the forest. I wish the forest really could communicate with me. I really like your ideas on what it might say. Thank you!

Right now, AI is as much fiction as fact and incapable of discerning the difference. Humans have immense issues with knowing fact from fiction and actually depend on AI.

This short really spoke to my soul, my longing to be as one with nature in one big
Just kidding it was awful. Could have been good but it wasn’t.

Brilliant, really liked it! I wish this were real, no-one seems to be listening to all the life on this planet be smothered by humans.

Lets roll a die and see what AI content they'll use next on DUST. AI written, AI animated, AI celebrity.
I miss when DUST had good content
