The footage of the artist training her own artificial intelligence (AI) self to mimic her every mood and movement is a comment on both AI developments seen as alarming by many, and on social media imperatives to be a certain way in order to achieve popularity. It's met with admiration for her consistent artistry and ability to voice present/future trends in a way that's hailed as always ahead of its time. What do you think of the work?
