When generating images using AI, many people discard images that do not depict five fingers, considering them as defective. AI engineers, too, devote their programming skills, massive GPU power, and electricity to advancing AI so that it can accurately generate five-fingered hands. However, in this pursuit of “progress,” the lives of minorities—such as those with three fingers or polydactyly—are completely overlooked and effectively erased in the shadow of technological evolution.
In this film, an AI engineer conducts interviews with parents of children with cleft hand, individuals affected by it, and medical professionals. Through these conversations, the engineer gradually exposes his own implicit assumptions. This work quietly questions the essential aspects of human existence that are being left behind in an AI-driven society.
