KaraokAI is an interactive thermal printer which prints out slips of randomised lyrics rewritten by artificial intelligence whenever the green button is pressed. Taking familiar song lyrics and feeding them through an AI-powered bot, the lyrics get reinterpreted as per how the computer reads human writing. Users are invited to bring home a piece of the regenerated song and subsequently, attempt to decipher the original song in which the AI-powered bot was trying to ‘sing’ to them.
