“Rap Rumble Royale” is an 3D animated short film that tackles the recent debates of AI implementation in our daily lives, as well as the calls for concern regarding AI and our entrustment to provide and handle knowledge.

A project that heavily leans on inspirations of nostalgia - fighting game overlays, old school DIY hiphop music production, first generation console graphics and the confidence of parody music videos from the 2010s era of the Internet - I perform both as Wikipedia and ChatGPT as they challenge each other’s flaws, their ability to spread information accurately, and the potential consequences of letting AI handle centuries worth of knowledge.
