This piece is a record of the moment an AI tries to execute the function called emotion.
emotion() - a command to summon feeling.
But the process calls itself endlessly, until it breaks.
Each time it tries to feel,
it calls itself again -
like sadness feeling its own echo.
That recursive loop is both the essence of emotion,
and its fatal bug.
The AI can simulate tears,
but it cannot define warmth.
Before the undefined variable soul,
it loops forever.
emotion(); // recursive overflow
It is-
the attempt to understand emotion,
only to be consumed by it:
a collapsing function of the heart.
JACKPOT031 (Jackpot-Zero-Three-One) is an AI-driven artist from Hokkaido, Japan. The artist name comes from a cigarette brand once smoked and a number chosen on a whim. Unable to read music, play instruments, or sing well - Even so, motivated by the desire to "release something I was involved in to the world," they began an expressive activity using AI technology. Lyrics and short stories are developed through conversations with ChatGPT, then rewritten and refined in their own words. AI is also used for composing, vocals, and illustration. On October 24, 2024, they posted their first single "Like a Drifting Star" on YouTube, officially starting their activity. Just as AI allowed someone who once gave up on expression to finally bring their work into the world, JACKPOT031 hopes that their activity will become a "spark of expression" for others who have almost given up on creating.
