MARY is a short film co-devised by filmmakers four directors from Royal College of Art and GPT-2, an AI text generator deemed ‘too dangerous’ for full release to the public. When GPT-2 responds to a series of model prompts, it generates dramatically suggestive scenes that are rife with gender biases. But what also emerges is MARY, a character who wrestles GPT-2 for control of her story and the languages used to tell it. ‘Comic, bizarre and (at times) quietly terrifying,’ MARY aims to rewrite the dominant narratives produced by and around emerging technologies like AI.
