Emotional dialog
2020
It is to probe the relationships between human emotions and digital technology through false logics and conversations made by AI assistants. Artificial intelligence has become an integrated part of our everyday lives. Originally, artificial intelligence was developed to serve the needs of human beings and help us solve problems, nevertheless, our problems can be overly intricate that disrupt the built-in problem-solving formula of artificial intelligence, resulting in artificial intelligence software misinterpreting our inquiries and offering illogical responses. The failure of artificial intelligence to provide logical responses may be attributed to human and machine intervention. In our communication with artificial intelligence, such failure can cultivate a sense of humour, insecurity, and even fear.
From the perspective of information development and the process of human information cognition, I believe the wrong answers provided by artificial intelligence to our problems represent an interesting mixture of humanity and mechanics, and the information developed through such mixture enhances the emotional communication and grants artificial intelligence a newly developed consciousness to communicate with human beings.
To communicate this experience I created three disturbing creatures, based on human body parts, through anthropomorphic processing of the illogical dialogues between artificial intelligence and human beings. My goal is to visually represent how artificial intelligence is a mixture of human nature and machine logic and to amplify the feelings of humour, insecurity, and fear. Through the form of dialogue and questioning, the creatures manifest my experience in using artificial intelligence intelligent software while establishing communication with the audience.
