Ghost in the Machine : Discourses with AI
SessionArt Papers 2: AI and Art
DescriptionAI systems analyze vast amounts of data, uncover patterns, and make decisions- emulating a semblance of intelligence despite lacking qualia and embodiment that form the basis of the human condition. In this paper, we expound on "Ghost in the Machine", an interactive installation that delves into the pervasive tendency to anthropomorphize AI, ascribing human-like qualities, intentions, and even consciousness. Participants engage in dialogue with the AI as it collaboratively materializes the AI's thoughts in moving image and generative sound. The installation attempts to forge embodiment for an amorphous AI, revealing errors in its comprehension, represented by the metaphor of hallucinations.
