In collaboration with Pauline Tillmann, this exhibition explores the intriguing parallels between human and artificial intelligence through an intimate dialogue with ChatGPT. The installation delves into existential questions about moral dilemmas, identity, and consciousness, revealing surprising similarities and distinct differences between human and machine thinking.

Life-sized AI-generated figures confront visitors in an immersive environment, where deepfake technology blurs the line between human and artificial origins. The exhibited concerns and questions become deliberately ambiguous, making it impossible to determine whether they originated from human minds or artificial intelligence.

The installation harnesses multiple AI technologies: ChatGPT for generating philosophical discourse, Stable Diffusion for creating visual elements, and TouchDesigner for real-time interactive processing, seamlessly integrating these components into a cohesive experience.

"Hi I'm Jared" (2023) by Hanno Hlacer & Pauline Tillmann is a 1-channel video installation running 4:47 minutes. Created using Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT 3, and ResNET, this piece merges AI-generated bodies with deepfake-inspired faces of audience members. The transhumanist entities in the video projection challenge conventional notions of human identity within our technologically advancing society.

The installation critically examines human self-perception and identity formation in an era where artificial intelligence increasingly questions our assumed uniqueness. Through its ironic lens, the work explores the tension between human self-aggrandizement and our desperate search for identity in a world where the irreplaceability of human beings faces unprecedented challenges from artificial intelligence.
