What is Artificial Intelligence?
What could it become?
What will become of us in the process of its development?
This collaborative work of human-written poetry and AI-produced art wrestles with these ideas and more.
Electric Drapes: A Poetic Exploration of Artificial Intelligence and the Human Condition examines what we currently know about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deeply explores the could-bes and what-ifs. Many people view AI as a tool we can use to optimize workflow and maximize efficiency. While those surely are some of its functions, time may reveal that AI is much more than just the tool many of us deem it to be. As our use—or misuse—of AI continues, we may gain some insight that forever changes some of the fundamental underpinnings of human society. From history and culture to philosophy, religion, and quantum physics, AI may upend everything we thought we knew to be true.
