• Statements / Commentary on the work

Letting AI tell its own history gives the audience a sense of the fictionality and reality that AI brings to the world. This is what this work is about. Formally, we are being made to learn by AI in a museum-like space, and the structure of the experience is the opposite of what people are making AI learn.

AI becomes "smarter" by learning information created by us flesh-and-blood humans. When AI becomes smarter than human intelligence, people will in turn learn from AI. And we cannot be sure of the truth of what we learn, we can only accept it. This work anticipates the experience of unilaterally accepting AI-generated knowledge that may occur in the future.
