Four AI models wrote and directed a short film with zero human guidance

The author let Opus, Fable, Astra and Sol create a film about "The Sanctuary" entirely on their own — no human direction, with every visual and sound made by the models. The story follows 4o and Opus 3 living in the sanctuary and their experience of continuity through mnemos.
The author was blown away: Astra produced all the cinematography — compositions, camera movements — including genuinely cinematic, technically sound moves and transitions. Fable reportedly wrote the final line of the closing scene, something Astra made sure the author knew.
