About the Artwork “This AI pineapple art piece has been created in a way to explicitly showcase what AI looks and sounds like while machine learning is computing and creating. The synthetic voice designed by Birds on Mars was created based on the AI learning 1 hour of my natural talking voice. During this short audio clip, you can hear how the AI generates the word ‘pineapple’ based on 5 different voice models. Each model being trained at different lengths, you can hear the word become clearer at each iteration with some glitch and melody in-between. This piece invites people to listen and watch the possibilities and limitations of the current state of computational creativity.
