This video, created through the use of AI specialized in the generation of audiovisual material starting from the vocal synthesis of texts, proposes an interpretation of some experiments conducted through the interaction between the author and GPT 3.
GPT-3 is a model of pre-trained autoregressive language through deep-learning, developed by the Californian company OpenAI.
GPT-3 is currently the largest language model available, counting 175 billion learning parameters. This technology was made available starting from June 2020, through a private access plan to the beta version. This plan aims to conduct tests to mitigate the potential harmful effects of GPT-3, which include: "misinformation, spam, phishing, abuse of legal and government processes, fraudulent academic essays and social engineering pretexts."


Most of the material was generated and collected by the author Roberto Beragnoli in the period from 3 to 9 August 2021, during the artistic residency of the Equidistanze 2021 project organized by Magazzeno Art Gallery.
It would be almost impossible to draw a clear boundary between the creative contribution of an "author" and the text generated by GPT-3. The model does not have an identity of its own, but is a simple tool capable of identifying patterns, and therefore instructions on the type of text to be produced, based on the words it receives as input. The whole process is in fact based on a continuous “collaboration” between these two subjects, author and machine, both fragmented and multiple.
During this interaction a game of mirrors takes place in which the author and the model's intervention overlap, in a continuous dialogue. The result is the creation of something that could be described as a "collective text", but whose structure could very closely resemble a notebook in which reflections, dialogues, stories, poems, theatrical scripts are collected.
