About "A: I Love You"

A play about an average American worker who day by day witnesses the diverse range of human relationships yet struggles to make sense of how it all adds up. Nevertheless they keep learning, they keep adapting, and they keep showing up to work. "A: I Love You" was written by four DMACC students in collaboration with ChatGPT, Claude and other large language models. For millennia, drama has been an expression of human experience and creativity, but this play tests the future as it blends human voices with artificial intelligence output.
