Debate Generation System in Japanese Rap Battle Format
A system that uses AI to conduct diverse debates in the style of Japanese rap battles.
Around the world, society laments an ever-growing divide in public discourse. A key cause is the filter-bubble phenomenon, where people shut out opposing views and consume only what they want to see. By reframing “debate” within the entertainment format of a rap battle, this system first entices audiences to listen—to truly hear various voices and arguments. Our goal is to become that very first step in “discussion,” where someone is willing to lend an ear to another person’s opinion.
