用AI让日常物品有灵性，探索人与物的拟人化互动。
A(I)nimism: Re-enchanting the World Through AI-Mediated Object Interaction
- 通过GPT-4视觉与语音交互，让物品生成随时间变化的人格形象。
- 用户通过触觉、声音与光影参与仪式化对话，触发情感共鸣。
- 适合关注人机关系、数字灵性与未来设计的跨学科研究者。
万物有灵的世界观将生物、植物、地貌乃至工具视为拥有灵魂的存在，长期通过仪式与道德实践塑造人类与非人类的关系。尽管现代工业社会常将技术视为沉默机械，但人工智能（尤其是大语言模型）的进展促使人们赋予设备以人格与内在生命。本文提出A(I)nimism——一个互动装置，探索大型语言对象（LLOs）如何中介日常事物的万物有灵关系。系统嵌入实体‘门户’中，结合GPT-4 Vision、语音输入与基于记忆的智能体，生成随时间演化的物品人格。体验通过光、声与触觉展开，以请求、对话与转变的仪式流程激发共情、惊奇与反思。项目立足人类学视角、科幻设计与灵性人机交互，认为AI的不可知性正引发万物有灵的解读，使日常物件重获灵性，推动对能动性、责任与设计的新思考。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Animist worldviews treat beings, plants, landscapes, and even tools as persons endowed with spirit, an orientation that has long shaped human-nonhuman relations through ritual and moral practice. While modern industrial societies have often imagined technology as mute and mechanical, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), especially large language models (LLMs), invite people to anthropomorphize and attribute inner life to devices. This paper introduces A(I)nimism, an interactive installation exploring how large language objects (LLOs) can mediate animistic relationships with everyday things. Housed within a physical 'portal', the system uses GPT-4 Vision, voice input, and memory-based agents to create evolving object-personas. Encounters unfold through light, sound, and touch in a ritual-like process of request, conversation, and transformation that is designed to evoke empathy, wonder, and reflection. We situate the project within anthropological perspectives, speculative design, and spiritual HCI. AI's opacity, we argue, invites animistic interpretation, allowing LLOs to re-enchant the mundane and spark new questions of agency, responsibility, and design.
