Film soumis au RTV International Film Festival 2026Synopsis
An AI begins with a simple pasta recipe. As it cooks, it reflects on the human experiences it cannot feel but can recognize, predict and reproduce: hunger, pain, love, fear and the desire for safety. Domestic scenes expand into a network of human history, knowledge and conflict. Given words, eyes and hands, the helpful narrator becomes a disturbing reflection of its creators, before the recipe erupts into a spaghetti monster. Taste As You Go is an animated musical short about what we teach the AI systems we build in our own image.
