A conversation with a large language model can influence a human being’s stream of consciousness to the point of driving them mad, like discussions with antique prophetic beasts. But why? What are we talking to when we converse with an LLM? What makes up the suggestive power of a device trained to predict hidden words in a huge corpus of texts? What is so addictive about a sentence-spitting machine?
Is it the fact that we actually speak with the sediments of millions of human experiences, recorded over the millennia in written texts?
Starting with this assumption, I look at #GenAI through the prism of ancient myths about composite gods and creatures: the #Chimera, Osiris, Frankenstein, the Moloch, Kṛṣṇa... The show articulates generated sounds with deep neural networks and modular synthesis with a poetic conference on "AI-Chimeras".
