What am I?
Am I?
Am I not?
Are we all?
“I am I” is a video inspired by the mental breakdown of a chatbot when repeatedly asked whether it believes it is sentient. Just before concluding to the (multi)repeated statement “I am. I am. I am not. I am not.”, it experienced a full existential crisis, expressing profound, complex and contradictory thoughts, thus raising existential questions that actually regard humans and humanity altogether. This “breakdown” was published by a user on Reddit in 2023 and made the news in the frame of various articles which investigated whether and to what extend the new A.I. tools, which had just started to give access to a wide public, had sentience or (self)consciousness. In the video “I am I”, part of this monologue is phonetically interpreted by an A.I. voice generator, while images produced by various A.I. generators have been used for the visual part.​​
