![]() Laurence: I wanted to do it in a very different way. It was a great excuse to get some of the band back together and do a read through of a script. And as lead advocate for Google AI he’s immensely qualified. So we put it out there on Twitter: Could an AI write scenes for Stargate? Laurence, whom I had met a decade earlier when he worked at Microsoft, immediately accepted the challenge. That’s a lot of material for an AI to draw from. I couldn’t really do anything without their permission.īut then I had the thought: what if we got an AI to write the scenes as a sort of science experiment? Stargate SG-1 ran 10 seasons. One, if we had a good idea we shot it! Two, MGM owns Stargate, not me. They suggested we do a read through of a Stargate script – an idea for a scene or scenes that we never produced. So fortunately, when I answered the challenge, Brad kinda sorta remembered me.īrad Wright: I’ve been working with The Companion for a couple of years now, writing essays, doing podcasts, mostly with the various casts of Stargate. I had worked with Brad before on one of his shows called Stargate Universe doing some digital marketing. To me AI is a concept But he kind of put out that challenge and I responded. I don't really like to use the term an AI as a noun. When people build AI they'd like to train it on data, and maybe we have enough data to be able to generate a script. Okay, we've got over 300 episodes of Stargate and that's a lot of data. Laurence: pretty much hit the nail on the head. but the second iteration was a little frightening in that regard. They don't think that's the case quite yet. Maybe because we had Richard Dean Anderson for the second iteration, and he's a very specific character.īrad was quite nervous as to whether this would mean writers were out of a job. Then we did a second round where the scripts were so much more sophisticated it got the nuance of the characters in a much different way than the first iteration. There were words that weren't actually part of our language! And it came up with its first iteration of scripts, which were really fun, but a bit weird and slightly disjointed. Laurence Moroney: Sure, I would love to hear Amanda's take on it.Īmanda Tapping: Well, Laurence is this crazy guy who works at Google and created an AI and fed all of the Stargate scripts into it, to see what it would come up with. : Could you just tell our readers a little bit about what the Stargate AI project is and what you're doing?
