TITLE

O Icarus of the Fearless Flight

 

Description

Compares Icarus’s hubris to our exploration of AI. Titled after a poem by Oscar Wilde, who interpreted the myth as Icarus’s greatest success, and said that the true tragedy would have been if he hadn’t taken the risk of flying too close to the sun.

The lettering is an excerpt of the code for ChatGPT transcribed in Greek. Although AI has many potential consequences and pushes ethical boundaries, it also has the potential to propel humanity further than ever before.

Using the dotted lines provided, I invite you to fold this piece into a paper airplane, and choose flight for yourself– or not.
