Artist Collects 350+ Anonymous AI Confessions From Real Users
Olivia Tai's 'What We Tell AI' project surfaces raw, anonymous truths about how people actually use artificial intelligence daily.
You're not the only one using ChatGPT to draft that awkward text to your ex. Artist Olivia Tai spent a full year proving exactly that — collecting more than 350 handwritten, anonymous confessions about how real people lean on AI to handle dating, careers, and the messier parts of everyday life. The project is called "What We Tell AI," and it's hitting differently than your standard tech think-piece.
Tai's approach is analog by design. Handwritten secrets. No usernames, no profiles — just raw honesty on paper. That contrast between old-school confession and cutting-edge technology is the whole point. People are apparently way more willing to admit what they actually do with AI when no one's watching their screen.

The confessions span the full spectrum of modern life. Work. Relationships. Personal struggles. If you've ever felt a little weird about how much you rely on an AI assistant, the project is basically one giant "you are not alone" message. The volume alone — 350-plus entries in a single year — signals that AI use has gone deeply personal, far beyond productivity hacks and code generation.
What makes this project punch above its weight is the insight it quietly delivers: people don't just use AI as a tool, they confide in it. That's a behavioral shift with real implications for how tech companies design these products and how society regulates them. Tai is capturing cultural history in real time, one handwritten slip at a time.
