Revelation
Enter this confession booth to declare your sins and have them absolved by an AI authority figure.
The recent rise in deepfake technology is threatening society through disrupting our trust and beliefs. Revelation is a critical project questioning our ideology around datasets used to train Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLM’s) such as ChatGPT. How does changing the face of technology change our faith in what it may say to us?
The underlying technology, once elusive and complex, is now becoming increasingly accessible due to advances in publicly available LLM’s. These developments suggest that the ability to create realistic deepfakes may soon be dangerously widespread. Consider the recent legal case where Scarlett Johansson had her voice deepfaked without consent.
In this experience you can decide whether to give credence to the character responding to your sin. These characters appear and respond according to the sin you are willing to confess. Each character is based on celebrities who may have knowledge, experience or authority on your confession. And although their AI character might ultimately absolve your sin, would they?
