"Typical World (M label No.45) Taro Karibe" signed

About the productJapanese

In the darkness of a lightless cave, it is difficult to distinguish between your own shadow and the shadows of others. - Taro Karibe


The rapid evolution of generative AI over the past few years has brought new possibilities for humanity, but it also portends unknown threats.
However, what is generated from massive amounts of data often lacks diversity and tends toward an averaged, "typical" world.

This work uses the image generation AI "Stable Diffusion" and incorporates the word "typical" into the prompt to explore how AI perceives and expresses "typical."

"Typical peace," "Typical president," "Typical terrorist," "Typical love" --
The "Typical World" created by generative AI, which supposedly has infinite possibilities, poses hidden questions about our future.
