AI: Artificial Imagination

What does AI dream about? We fuelled AI's imagination with single, randomly-selected words, plus a short descriptive phrase. It then created a series of dreams, which include finding a love from a previous life, commemorative rituals, chess playing dogs, a shape-shifting orchestra and more. The scenarios - and their AI-generated interpretations - are a mix of surreal, comedic, and scary. AI: Artificial Imagination is written and performed by AI, and produced by humans.
