What happens

The Andy Warhol Diaries is an American documentary television limited series from writer and director Andrew Rossi, and executive producer Ryan Murphy, based on the 1989 book of the same name by Andy Warhol, as edited by Pat Hackett. The series simulates the famed pop artist narrating his own diary entries through the use of artificial intelligence technology. Netflix debuted the series of six episodes on March 9, 2022. The Andy Warhol Robot helped inspire the concept for the AI voice in the series, along with Warhol's cultivated image as an "asexual robot" at The Factory in the 1960s, and his claim that "Machines have less problems." Actor Bill Irwin provided the narration that was morphed by the AI software. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
