Someday, I Want to Make a Film About My Childhood with AI

Someday, I’d like to use AI to turn my childhood into a film.
It’s not something I can do right away. But as I gradually collect writing and images for the day when AI evolves further and can make high-quality AI films more easily than it can now, (I’d had a feeling I might someday be able to make an animated film, so I’ve been saving things I’ve written for a long time.)
Recently, it’s become possible to use AI to create another image based on an image. For example, the image below that I’ve attached this time is not a real photograph.
It’s an image created by AI based on my memories and the feelings I had back then.
As a child, I had gone off the rails. And things kept getting worse.
In the end, I ended up going to a juvenile detention center.
Back then, I was a boy full of mistrust toward people. Even in that juvenile detention center, I felt a sense of injustice, and
“How could anyone reform here?”
Thinking that, I ran away from there.
Of course, I later took responsibility for that properly. Afterward, I returned on my own and was transferred to another juvenile detention center.
The total time I spent in the juvenile detention center after the transfer was 13 months. In principle, it might have ended up being much shorter. But because I had broken the rules, that period had been extended.
For the first six months, I spent my time with a throwaway attitude.
Then there was a teacher who faced me head-on. He was the kind of teacher who came at me as if bumping into me head-on.
At times, he would even shout at the top of his lungs. There were also times when he would truly get angry.
And then, at one point, that teacher seemed unable to hold it in any longer and shed tears.
When I saw those tears, I understood.
“Ah, this person really is worried about me.”
That was the first time it truly reached me. From there, I began to change my mind little by little.
The road in this image is, for me, a road that led to that positive change.
2:00 a.m. The road I was running down while ready to throw my life away and flee.
That is the road in this image.
Of course, it isn’t the real road itself. But recalling the feelings I had back then, I had AI create an image of that road from the time.
I think AI will continue to evolve more and more from here. It will surely become even easier than it is now to create things that are closer to one’s ideals.
And I think the time will come when we can give shape to them as animated films.
When that time comes, I’d like to use AI to make a film about my childhood.
About the boy who was running through the darkness back then. About the boy who couldn’t trust anyone, then for the first time came into contact with someone’s genuine sincerity and began to change little by little.
I hope to leave that behind someday as a work of art.
