🔍 In this episode of Humans of AI, the creators of Litte_bot explain how an idea to celebrate Molière’s 400th anniversary became an innovative project that lets audiences converse with literary characters through AI.

Anna discusses training models to reproduce Molière’s alexandrines, extending the work to Brecht, and the challenges of capturing each writer’s distinct voice. The conversation highlights how AI can revive cultural memory, engage young people with theatre, and support human-centered artistic research.

The Spark

🗣️“We wanted to use AI not just as a tool, but as a mediator — a way to bring humans into a new dialogue with the past, almost like speaking with a literary ghost made alive again.”

The Impact

🗣️ “It wasn’t just a tool — AI became a bridge to the past.”

The Challenge

🗣️ “Artistic research struggles because we lack access to large computing resources.”

The Future

🗣️“For me, fine-tuning was a way to test how far AI can go in producing not just a writer’s style, but a writer’s way of thinking.”

The Takeaway

🗣️ “We should share these experiences widely — even with philosophers — because they can bring theatre, literature, and philosophy closer to young people.”

Litte_bot is an artistic research project that uses AI to bring classical theatre to life by enabling audiences to interact directly with literary characters. Originally created to celebrate Molière’s 400th anniversary, the team trained generative models on his plays so the chatbot could respond in authentic alexandrines, making cultural memory feel alive and accessible—especially for young people.
