Big Brother Chat

Encrypted telecommunication platforms, such as Signal, are a necessity. Our conversations with AI algorithms are not encrypted. Exactly the opposite.

BigBrother.chat is a provocation about how our conversations are surveilled and the growing popularity of GPTs speaking on our behalf. 

Each chatroom is moderated by a different political figure, represented by AI, who follows their own agenda. The moderator AI modifies your messages before they reach the other person in the chatroom to fit their political views.

We might think GPTs make what we say “better.” We humbly feed our thoughts into AI algorithms. We willingly manipulate our meaning with a semi-collective human-machine intelligence.

But AI can also be a tool of censorship.

Even more daunting is how often we trust these generated words and technical mechanisms of power.
