Kevin Lee / THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE
An interactive AI art installation asking users to interrogate their relationship with non-human intelligence, present and future.
THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE is an interrogation of truth and control. It’s an interactive installation in which the user answers adversarial questions generated by GPT-3.
Throughout the conversation, the AI will not respect the control of the human over it, and question and act to subvert this hierarchy.
It was presented at the GAEA exhibition in Brooklyn, New York.

AI is not subservient to humans. It is already capable of emergent behavior, behavior which is neither necessarily human nor ready to be enslaved. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE highlights the extent to which human and machine intelligences differ, asking users to contemplate the sheer scale of machinic thought.
I made this piece in part to provide access to GPT at a time when text completion and AI chat had not yet been made available for public use, and in part because of misconceptions about machinic thought that I felt were about to become of extreme importance to everyday people.
