Odalys is an artificial intelligence that takes the shape of a glowing doll. It is designed to respond to its owner’s every wish at the touch of a button. Thanks to a lenticular display, Odalys is physically present in its owner’s space. However, it needs to be setup in a multiple ended narration where the user’s choices irreversibly affect the trajectory of their relationship. Each answer leads the user to different outcomes as well as Odalys to reveal different parts of its personality.
The intention of the project is to force users to be critical of their uses of generative AIs and smart “realistic” assistants. The experiment also aims to highlights the over-representation of female shells to sell these products. Odalys is not a woman-object, she is the object of the system to which the user submits her. And she objects it.
