Kore-eda Hirokazu ran the screenplay for his AI-themed Cannes title “Sheep in the Box” past a generative AI chatbot, then cut it loose after concluding that notes from something with no personal history with cinema were of no use to him.

Kore-eda, who is receiving the Cinema Honorary Award at the Singapore International Film Festival, says he shared the script with the chatbot because of the film’s subject matter and went back and forth with it several times. He nicknamed it “Chat-kun.”
