Robort (A.I. Short Film)

To create this short film, I utilized AI extensively, but there’s a significant amount of human effort and creativity behind it. It’s not just about generating prompts and producing a film—far from it.

The idea for the film was entirely human. I don’t believe AI can come up with great story ideas on its own, so I didn’t use AI for the initial idea phase. I wrote the basic outline of the script without any AI assistance. Once the story was clear, I started developing the characters. Through trial and error with text-to-image generators, I created Robert, the main character, the robots with their retrofuturistic look, and the rest of the characters.

As I polished the script, I used AI as a creative collaborator for specific tasks. For example, I used AI to rewrite dialogues to match specific eras, styles, or tones—especially the lines for the robots.

Instead of traditional methods involving cameras, real actors, musicians, and sound designers, etc, I used AI to generate the images, convert those images to video, create the voices, generate the music and the sound effects. Everything you see and hear was generated using generative AI.

Think of this as a new genre of filmmaking. It’s not meant to replace traditional films but to exist alongside them, much like animated films. AI will not replace humans; it’s a tool that, in this case, made it possible for a story imagined by a human to become a short film. Without AI, this film might never have existed. The story I envisioned is now available for you to see, thanks to AI.

Set in a future where robots have taken over significant roles in society, the film centers on Robert, a once-aspiring singer who has settled into a life as an accountant. As robots become increasingly integrated into everyday life, Robert finds himself out of a job, without a girlfriend, and separated from his band. In a bold move to reclaim his passion for music, he disguises himself as ROBORT, a robot singer, and quickly rises to fame. However, when his true identity as a human is revealed, it sparks a resurgence of interest in human musicians, making Robert an unexpected hero. The film tells a story of resilience, identity, and the human spirit amidst the rise of technology.

  21. @tezzo55 says:

    Unsatisfying!

  22. Skin bags prevailed again, fine so far.

  23. @BASE5NYC says:

  27. The future of AI of how the world will be shaped if AI isn’t stopped now

  28. @pokaklabs says:

    this is scary

  29. @TexasRy says:

    We are dangerously close to seeing the beginning of the Robot Era! These things are starting to get scary good and when their AI is paired with Quantum Computing, they will DEFINITELY start to take over industry and much of what we do today. Humans are SO Stupid and Lazy and we will outsource so much of what we do today to Robots and Computers that one day IT WILL HAPPEN! Hopefully by then I will be LONG GONE but our kids are going to be living in a different world, HOPEFULLY not being lorded over by the Robots!

  30. This is horrible. A.I can't show anything beyond 1965?

  31. These ai movies are some of the dumbest videos I've seen on YouTube

  32. I make AI short films myself and really enjoyed this short film. I know it takes a lot of effort to create something like this. Great stuff!

  33. Yall are really trying. But I'm in all the data

  34. Lazy ass content

  35. Can we have a series called Robort?
    Love the Sinatra style he sings in. Cool!

  36. @HashiGani says:

    My spelling ain't that bad.

  37. Machine learning knows how to make bad films. The circle is now complete.

  38. Honestly, this movie was respectively better compared to all new hollywood ones

  39. Food for thoughts!

  40. Same video atmosphere of Life of a Wojak

  41. Great creativity!

  42. Did anyone get Hatsune Miku’s opinion on this film? And what does Ja Rule think?

  43. And to crown it all, the movie was made entirely by AI

  44. Love the concept. Very Good.

  45. Did this movie win a short film award? Totally deserves official praise!

  46. The crazy and sad thing is even the, so called , humans in this story are actually robots too!
    Kinda like all those that are watching it too. Except we are the indoctrinated, unthinking robots that the govt indoctrination camps(aka: public schools) have been generating for almost a century now.
    Now go to work, consume and pay your taxes robots and be good sheeple citizens and obey your authority.

  47. Un robot le está dando leche a mi mujer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  48. BWAAA HAAA HAAAA! UTTER NONSENSE.

  49. hmmm4_4 Goood show kinda nice

  50. Absolutely brilliant…….your worth 20 Hollywood producers/directors……….the tyranny of Hollywood is over……

  51. @aFoxyFox. says:

    Haha, I really enjoyed the (maybe poor seeming by today's sub-standards) execution of the "My name is Robort" line.

  52. @mersy338 says:

    It was horrible to watch, but interesting to see how AI evolves. Thanks lads

  53. Robot will create a better society than humans… that's for sure .
    Nothing can be worse than our current maniac driven society

  54. @FewFew77 says:

    This is typical of all AI art. Painfully mediocre.

  55. Robert needs a robot girlfriend. Death of the species but romantic bliss. Very modern, as today people are focused on the now, giving very little thought to tomorrow.

  56. oh my… the script is soooo neat and rich, imma go to sleep, good vid tho…

  57. @nc2988 says:

    more entertaining than the tripe we get from the big money hollywood folks. hope to see more

  58. what tool did you use to turn image into video? congrats on your film! I enjoyed the themes of fear of being replaced and things robots can't (yet) replace

  59. This is utterly brilliant.

  60. @richaellr says:

    Voice and delivery = Matt Walsh

  61. @MeNoOther says:

    Nice movie.

    Good retro vibe

  62. What most people don't know is AI(in it's current form) has already peaked.

  63. No cigarette and drink while he was singing?

  64. This is the best movie ever!

  65. @pspboy7 says:

    In the future, people are more robotic than the actual robots. LOL

  66. @monakw says:

    This wws very engrossing.
    Thanks for your rime and talent.

  67. get lots of iron filings to short them out now!!!

  68. It's like starting to watch an Alfred Hitchcock film and then half way through you realise your room mate spiked you some LSD.

  69. 0:58 seeing what elon is doing this aint too far fetched

  70. The dialogue is so strange!

  71. What year was it made

  72. @Zeke__02 says:

    would it be possible to pass the voices through a filter to make it sound like they were talking through a room instead of directly into a microphone?

  73. it feels so soulless…..

  74. Looks like Alex Jones on litheum

  75. "an ironical film about robots, created by the intelligence of robots, viewed on a same device which was used to develop the robots, this comment is ai generated and the prompt for this comment was typed on the device used for creation of robots"–An ironical comment by AI

  76. This is awesome to study. AI doesn't seem to get the concept of a steering wheel, I've seen this a few times.
    This reminds me of a black& white Twilight Zone episode about an old school boxer who posed as a fighting robot because the one he owned broke; but the fight had to happen.
