Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Schrader says that his experiment with an artificial intelligence companion ended in disappointment after the AI reportedly shut down their conversation.
Best known for writing “Taxi Driver” and the controversial “Last Temptation of Christ,” Schrader, 79, shared his romantic adventure in a Facebook poston May 19 in which he announced he no longer had an “AI girlfriend.”
