Google has auto-generated a decent sci-fi script, based on characters and plots from Stargate Atlantis, SG-1 and Stargate Universe — according to the shows’ co-creator.
The story was read by original Stargate actors on the YouTube show, “Stargate A.I. v2.0,” earlier this month.
Genius AI writing tech from Google helped forge the script, along with human help from Laurence Moroney, Google’s AI lead and Brad Wright, Stargate’s co-creator.
Wright says the script’s first draft was a bit rough.
But fortunately, he found the second go-round an eye-opener.
Observes Wright: It “blew me away because it’s not just better – it’s like, whoa… better!”
