Ask Dali using the Lobster Phone

The Dali Museum is once again leveraging innovative technology to engage the audience in a deeper understanding of Dali.

A recent NPR profile highlighted: Ask Dalí, a new installation based on a copy of Dalí's iconic Lobster Telephone sculpture, allows visitors to pick up the crustacean-shaped receiver, ask a question, and hear Dalí's response. The artist's voice, speaking in heavily-accented English, is made possible through generative artificial intelligence. The artist's AI voice was trained on voice samples taken from archival interviews Dalí did in English over his career.

The underlying model is OpenAI's GPT-4.
