Nanut used ChatGPT to create an animated film narrating an alternative political history of Thailand. The generative AI software produced a satirical storyline featuring a secret military base run by “Thirayuth Chan-Ocha” (clearly a pun on coup leader Prayut Chan-o-cha). The film also features photographs from 14th October 1973, 6th October 1976, and 18th May 1992, and video from 19th May 2010.
