Abstract:

This research aims to explore the possibility of using storytelling from a non-anthropocentric perspective based on the concept of ‘Chthulucene’ proposed by Donna Haraway as a way to inspire people to think critically about artificial intelligence and their futures. This research created a text adventure game in which a player and a large language model (ChatGPT-4o) worked together to advance the story in a pre-set, text-based fantasy game world background. The player used the keyboard to type or interact with interactive installations to communicate with ChatGPT, while the dialogue between the player and ChatGPT in the story was recorded by three looms weaving two types of thread representing the player and ChatGPT. This design considers AI-human collaboration and touches upon the importance of label workers and their labours, which is behind the large language model to annotate data, and inspires players to think critically about artificial intelligence. It also examines the relationship between material and virtual worlds.
