“Deviation Game highlights this relationship between imitation and deviation, attempting to redefine the roles of AI and humans. Specifically, rather than viewing AI as a mimetic tool that reproduces the past, we treat it as a “discriminator” tasked with determining whether a specific expression has existed before.
To win this game, human players must produce new expressions and interpretations that have not yet been captured within the AI’s pre-trained datasets. We therefore view AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a tool to amplify it. By using AI—which excels at imitating the past—to identify existing patterns, we challenge humans to break free from those patterns, exploring the potential for expressions that truly deviate from the past.”
