THE BALDE RUNNER WRITING MACHINE: Expanded Imitation Game/ HUMAN AI TEST

Our newly developed prototype of an AI Game writing machine was presented to the invited researchers of the Dighum College, the operative head of the Austrian Science Fund Vienna WWTF, Dr. Michael Stampfer and the Programme Chair of the conference of the Dighum conference Vienna Dr. Katja Mayer and last but not least among many other test players  Dr. Salome Wagner* MAS Programme Coordinator | Vienna Doctoral College on Digital Humanism.

◦ The public installations and parallel performances with „Ludic drones“ (Play-Things developed by the Experimental Game Cultures Ludic drone lab) provide a space for lay persons to critically engage with and reflect on the impact of LLMs on the representation of historical events.

◦ Our analysis of the interaction protocols will contribute to the growing research on the biases and limits of LLMs and their differences.
