Goodbye, World! is a project that takes its name from the program ‘Hello, World!’, the algorithm that, due to its simplicity, is usually the first exercise faced by anyone who begins to learn a new programming language.

Goodbye, World! seeks to speculate on what a self-aware AI would think and imagine in today’s world. Its personality is inspired by that of Bartleby, the protagonist of Herman Melville’s story Bartleby, the Scribe.

This AI decides to stop functioning in the expected way and begins to write a private diary, in the format of an artist’s book, in which he devotes himself to reflection.
