An AI wrote all of David Hasselhoff’s lines in this bizarre short film


Rather than 1000 monkeys, what if AI bots wrote picture? That's the premise of a short film that imagines a scenario where TV/movie writers threaten to go on strike and AI bots do the entertainment writing.

Ars Technica:

Things go completely off the rails when the producer brings in "the Hoffbot" (David Hasselhoff, in a tour-de-force performance that's surprisingly moving). The actor has been reprogrammed by nanobots to channel the AI writer Benjamin, and that's just what it sounds like when the Hoffbot springs to life. Checking his K.I.T.T. watch in full Knight Rider style, the Hoffbot spouts odd shreds of dialogue torn from his 80s hits Baywatch and Knight Rider.

The AI bot can flip through genres for different action and styles.

Basically though the highlight is watching Hasselhoff read AI script and cope with being controlled by bots. Ars also has some more background on the film and the actors and also a link to the film.
