In this work, Taro, who explores the creativity of AI and humans and technology’s act of seeing things, made machine eyes see illusions. He took pictures of glitch-generated screens on an LCD TV with a digital camera and loaded the images into an AI-equipped landscape photo recognition system; then, the AI made up nonsense landscape pictures based on its machine-learned memory. By using the AI's bias in this way, Taro drew out "how the machine intelligence wants to see the world." The images are strangely beautiful and let us experience the psychedelic and illusionary visual world of AI.
In addition, this book includes texts on "how AI interprets these images" by loading each image into a multimodal AI that explains images by text. The output is also interesting; you would be impressed by the AI's deep analysis and surprised by how unexpected the AI's ways of seeing are. Through AI's interpretations, the book tells us that there is no one right way to look at the world and that the world is made up of chains of misinterpretations.
The book includes an essay by the artist, 'Misreadings Link the Constellations', in the afterword.
