We All Make Mistakes

An examination of Sonja's final monologue in Anton Tchechov's Uncle Vanya. AI-generated Amber loses her ability to speak in the course of the video. The video contrasts a concept of work which is soon to be changed by the rise of AI with what Anton Tchechov understood as working in 1898. In a development towards agency as a worker and a not-quite-sentient AI, the question of obedience and being able to make mistakes continues to be current.
