> A project for Jose Cuervo, with Mekanism and Espadaysantacruz.

A first date written by machines.

A film for Jose Cuervo in which two robots on a blind date speak lines written by AI. We trained conversational models on real dating conversations, collected through crowdsourcing, and on lines from film and TV.

The two robots are Alice and Bob, named after the classic pair from cryptography examples and Facebook's dialogue experiments, and they were built by Engineered Arts, the makers of Ameca and RoboThespian. We did the AI with Espadaysantacruz: real dating conversations gathered on Mechanical Turk, with survey answers and lines from film and TV, models trained in Python with TensorFlow, and a script picked from hundreds of generated first dates.
