SMALL TALK by Will Penny presents an animatronic talking Big Mouth Billy Bass that has been hacked to serve as a real-time AI chatbot. Using an AI language model and voice to text translation, participants may ask the singing fish a question, or initiate a conversation by speaking the prompt / wake up phrase “Hey Billy…”, followed by their own question, statement, or response.
