Introduction:
When both machines and humans are placed in the perspective of anthropocentrism, the functionality of technology becomes a single evaluation system, thus giving birth to the "useless machines" and "useless class". When we laugh at the stupidity and silliness of the useless machines, we are also peeping into the human self of the AI era in advance. When we laugh at the stupidity and silliness of useless machines, we are also peeping into the human beings in advance in the era of artificial intelligence. In this work, the artist tries to pay attention to the non-functional meaning and self-worth of the machine, the machine is no longer a slave, it has no function and purpose, but as a reflection and introspection of human beings, to build a new type of human-machine relationship.
Humans intervene with the act of giving players to care for the machine and observe the way the machine plays. The machine gives negative or positive feedbacks to the toys given by the human, just like a self-entertained bad boy, and this childish and stupid behaviour without providing substantial help also turns it into a "useless machine" in the evaluation system. In the process of interaction, one thinks about and observes the machine's preferences and feedback. The progressive mission and deterministic significance of the technology is suspended, the anthropocentric system of judgement is erased, and the relationship between humans and machines is presented as a poetic and humble form of parent-child relationship.
当机器和人类都被放置与人类中心主义的视角，技术功能性变为单一评价体系，因此诞生了“无用机器”和“无用阶级”，当我们嘲笑无用机器愚蠢滑稽时，亦是在提前窥探人工智能时代的人类自己。在这件作品中，艺术家试图关切机器的非功能性意义和自我价值感，机器不再作为奴隶，它没有功能性和目的，而是作为人类自身的映射与反观，去构建一种新型的人机关系。
人类用给予玩家的行为介入去关怀机器，观察机器的玩耍方式。而机器对人类赠予的玩具作出消极或积极反馈，如同一个自我娱乐的坏孩子，这种幼稚愚蠢且不提供实质性帮助的行为也使其变成了评价体系中的“无用机器”。在互动过程中，人们去思考和观察机器的喜好和反馈。技术的进步使命和决定论意义被悬搁，人类中心主义的评判体系抹去，并将人类、机器之间的关系表现为一种如家长和孩子般的诗意而谦卑的形式。
