Deeply in love with these AI powered spam bots by @neilmendoza !

@bleeptrack @neilmendoza
"Combining found objects with technology in an unexpected union, Neil Mendoza’s small fleet of AI-powered Spambots narrate a #whimsical response to Aldous Huxley’s #dystopian novel, Brave New World. In a live installation powered by AI models, the robotic Spam cans band together as they become empowered to tell their tales to the audience through the written word."

I hope that Homel foods doesn't get wind of this, I hear they can be rather fussy about how their trademark is used ;-)

@bleeptrack

I wonder if the keys are actually connected as input devices or if they are just for show and the art installation prints the letter once it triggered the respective stepper. I would probably press a button manually to see how it works. Which could explain why I'm not allowed in museums anymore...

@bleeptrack @neilmendoza is this on Instagram anywhere? Because I badly need to share this with my students.

InstagramNeil Mendoza on Instagram: "AI is increasingly used to generate spam content. "Spambots" explores what would happen if, instead, machine learning was used to empower a group of robotic Spam cans to tell their tales. Their porcine prose is generated by a deep learning based large language model fine tuned on a specially altered piggy version of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. In this novel each character is born into a caste in much the same way industrial farm animals, such as those that end up in Spam, are born into their fate. Each Spambot has a small keyboard with four letters on it and when they collaborate they are able type the whole alphabet along with some punctuation.
