This piece reflects on the ways algorithms consume transform and often flatten complex cultural narratives into digital artifacts. Its my attempt to confront how AI despite its promise might distort cultural memory and the nuances of human heritage. I wanted to explore LLM understanding of their role as ultimate cultural appropriation machines cultural remixers by design entities trained on vast arrays of data by some of the largest corporations on the planet. To that end I provided LLMs with prompts of their nature and observed their reasoning process through it. The video is a summary of these observations.
