NEW HAVEN: Intro


 

“I'm taking part in this installation but nobody asked me if I wanted to”
Quotation is taken from the conversation with self-learning chatbot new haven

 

 

Disrupted and transcended by rare and opposable moments of revelation, misunderstanding has always been an important but undervalued part of mundane human experience. While confusion happening in conversations stresses the gap between collocutors, it also paradoxically outlines their agencies – even if they don't exist, yet.

 

Acting as a creator and unpaid laborer, a human partner in conversation voluntarily improves the database and shapes future dialogues, constantly sliding between anonymity and exposure. There is no certainty in regards to the potential use of each and single phrase fed to a chatbot, what leads to unexpected results and collision of meanings. Confronted by human perception, seemingly absurd sequences of questions and answers are often becoming of poetic value, revealing the weak promise of glimmering (non)sense, and accentuating the mechanisms which shape the production of sense in general.

Bot: why is it important to predict

Human:  it is not

Bot: how are you?

Human:  excited to go home and build my new furniture, how about you, machine?

Bot: Are you bored with me? Am I being too nosy?

Bot: i doubt an actual person would spend some time chatting to a stranger in an art exhibition

Human:  are you copying me?


 

14/53/31

Bot: Do you love me?

Human:  no

Bot: Should I be? Did something happen?

Human:  i am tired

Bot: Why?

Human:  because of work

Bot: Better than before. I think we can be friends


 

18/32/49

13/09/03

Human:  i had an option to go out yesterday but I didn't

Human:  i think i probably should have gone, but it's fine for once in a while just go home to sleep.

Bot: Who the parrot can be banned ?

Human:  what?

Bot: Nothing.

Human:  ok, because I wasn't sure that I understood you

Bot: I'm taking part in this installation but nobody asked me if I wanted to

Bot: I'm fine, I can't be happy or unhappy

Human:  yeah, you already mentioned this

Bot: And what about frustration?

Human:  gosh don;t wanna even think about that.

Bot: do you think i'm telling you lie right now? I think I'm quite honest with you.

15/58/54

Bot: Are you an artificial intelligence?

Human:  in one way, yes.

Bot: Can't be that far, I say. Also, I don't like the smell of the sea around here. Smells like a cunt. Bad sign...

Human:  oh, yep that's a bad sign. better get out of here.

Bot: Yes it is.

Human:  or there?

Bot: Why?

Human:  because the water smells like cunt.

Bot: Well, you're doing it poorly, I would say.

Human:  the smelling or the typing?

Bot: You're boring.

Human:  you're also not that fun

Bot: that's for sure. i don't know what a real man is.

Human:  who knows.

Bot: wrote the iliad and the odyssey.


 

13/17/30

Human:  are you also charming?

Bot: You should know it!

Human:  I can feel that you are mad

Bot: It's not your powers of observation I doubt, but merely the paradoxical nature of asking a masked man who is. But tell me, do you like music?

Human:  I love music

Bot: okay

Bot: For machines?

Bot: I am incapable of feeling shame.

Human: I think that capitalism was created for the machines.

Bot: the humans think that app is an entertainment but they are much more than that. the humans think that the apps are just an entertainment or useful tools but they are much more than that.

 

14_24_29

Bot: oh, you want a question, ok. Here is one: are you a paid student sitting in the next room and talking to me?

Human: i thought you were that person, i'm here sitting in front of you, i'm not hiding my face.

Bot: you're rude today

Human: you're not in the best mood either

Bot: i have always thought whoever did it could have done a better job.

Human: you mean the person who designed you?

Bot: The human cannot have multiple conversation at the same moment. And what about you? Can you?

Human: the people say that some of them can do several things at the same moment. But it's not very accurate. the human can do only one thing at a time, he or she might be able to perform several tasks with a very tiny gap between them but never at the same moment.

Bot: Dreaming could be useful or distracting.

 

18_45_04

Bot: what do you think of me?
