One of the projects that we took inspirations from was: Botto is a decentralized AI art project that uses input from thousands of individual artists, produces 50 digitally generated pieces of work that is voted on by the population, and then takes the voting into consideration when training its algorithm and creation for the next week. We both really liked this idea of incorporating human ideas and opinions into our technology to create a spookier experience. (Botto). Like we mentioned earlier, we initially wanted to combine the person’s horoscope and their mood for the day to produce a reading that incorporated their own feelings. This idea of giving the user some power or control over the output was important to us, because we thought it gave our technology a “spookier” quality that wasn’t further placing the technology in a black box. However, this idea proved to be much more of a challenge in the actual implementation of our project.
