This is a surreal fantasy movie that involved some kind of magic paintbrush and someone putting peanut butter on his head.
That’s clearly a reference to The Peanut Butter Solution (a bizarre, 1985 Canadian film), but the site responded with this:
One movie that matches the description is “The Pagemaster” (1994). It is a live-action/animated fantasy film where a young boy named Richard Tyler gets transported into an animated world after taking shelter in a library during a storm. In this surreal adventure, Richard encounters various literary characters and embarks on a quest to find the exit. Along the way, he comes across a magical paintbrush that brings drawings to life and encounters bizarre situations, including a scene where he accidentally puts peanut butter on his head.
There is no scene in The Pagemaster involving peanut butter.
This tendency of AI to just outright lie when it doesn’t have a real answer is mildly upsetting. It’s indicative of the fact that the people building these systems have no clue (or interest in?) how to implement basic ethical guidelines. That doesn’t bode well for the evolution of these systems and what they will be capable of.
What it boils down to is that they’re not really AI. They’re large language models, and chatbots built around them are basically using predictive autofill on steroids.
So I tried to use this to identify a movie I remember seeing as a kid and haven’t been able to find since. I described the scene I remember, where an industrial accident releases freezing gas and a worker with a hard hat freezes his arm and it shatters.
As usual, when given specifics, the AI just straight makes shit up.
One movie that fits the description is “The Abyss” (1989), directed by James Cameron. Although it doesn’t involve a freezing gas, it does feature an industrial accident and a worker in a hard hat with a frozen arm. In the film, a team of deep-sea oil drillers encounters a mysterious alien species while working on an underwater drilling platform. During their mission, one of the workers, Bud Brigman (played by Ed Harris), gets his arm trapped in a closing hatch and it becomes frozen due to extreme cold temperatures. In his panic, he runs into a wall, shattering his frozen arm.
Might be that the training set is too old; “That one with the fat dragon” got me Kung Fu Panda, because Po, while not a dragon, was fat.
Similar prompts (see my other replies to the OP) for older films seem to work, so Honour Among Thieves might be to recent. (Which would highlight one of the main issues with these large language models: they have to be periodically retrained with new data for them to remain accurate and practical.)
OK, opening it on another browser worked. “why it was so easy to blow up the death star” got me Rogue One. So far 3/3, plus a login prompt which drops the score to 0/4.
OK, last last one; “That one with Bill Murray and the gopher” got me Caddyshack, which I haven’t seen but does seem to be a better match than Groundhog Day, which is what I was going for (trying to see if the AI could figure out I was mixing my rodents; turns out there are too many Bill Murray rodent focused films for that to be a valid test, my bad).
I had to do it in a third browser 'cause the login prompt came back, though, so I won’t be doing any more attempts, between that and the GDPR prompt it’s pretty clear they don’t want people using their site. Shame, as the tool seems pretty good, but what can you do. 🤷♂️
“The Goonies” is a movie that fits the description. It follows a group of kids who embark on an adventure to find hidden treasure in order to save their homes from being demolished.
Serenity SUCKED! ...AND they killed off two of the main cast. Why do writers feel that heroes don't deserve a happy ending?!
Now you watch the characters in the main series and you know he just ends up spiked through the chest...
(As much as latter seasons of Mandalorian weren't the most exciting, just watching them kick back and relax was a great ending... they've earned to finally be a semblance of family)
Why do writers feel that heroes don’t deserve a happy ending?!
why do movies always need a picture perfect “hollywood ending”? it’s hard to build tension when the audience expectation is that everyone will always get out ok and ride off into the sunset.
Some people would say Blade Runner 2049. I wouldn’t say the original is worse, it’s a certified classic. But the sequel really surpassed expectations and a lot fans consider it even better than the original.
i was a fan of the original for many years before the sequel came out and i still think 2049 is the better movie.
it manages to expand on the themes of the original without succumbing to sequel-itis or feeling like a re-tread. it does not over-use legacy characters. and the big one for me is how much the sequel improves on the original’s pacing without sacrificing that slow methodical burn it was famous for.
I saw a very weird movie years ago and couldn’t remember the title. I stumped the website with two different guesses but Google found it with one search.
