Anyone can transmit information through social networks, and the writing that is posted in such huge volumes day to day drops from the top of your feed to the bottom and is rarely looked back on. This work is an installation that composes AI-generated poems based on the theme of the trending words that are produced every day on Twitter. The AI observes as digital data the language that is generated on social networks and subsequently disappears, and reinterprets this as poetry. This is a new form of intelligence that statistically processes our words and us in the social media age, where tremendous quantities of words are transmitted. The collision between ourselves and this new form of intelligence projects the current state of the media and language that surround us.

This is an installation of AI that continues to generate poetry based on 'trending' words on SNS.

Create AI with 200,000 sentences learned (vectorized) by deep learning. Trend words are read in real time, and frequently used words (co-occurrence words) are used together with each trend word. Co-occurrence words are arranged in a vector space holding a large number of words and sentences, and those words are combined to generate a short sentence without envy. A structure in which short sentences that contain AI-specific awkward words and logic gaps appear to humans as poems.
