'Andy Warhol Diaries' puts the art in artificial intelligence - The Boston Globe

Ryan Murphy has produced a six-part documentary series about Andy Warhol that premieres on Netflix on March 9. If you're interested in art, culture, or the American temperament, you'll probably find something in "The Andy Warhol Diaries," which is directed by Andrew Rossi. Among those interviewed: John Waters, Spike Lee, Rob Lowe, Julian Schnabel, and Debbie Harry. The series has constructed Warhol's voice with the help of artificial intelligence, and we will hear that voice reading passages from his diaries. Beginning in 1976 until days before his death in 1987, Warhol dictated his diary entries on the phone to journalist Pat Hackett, and they were published in 1989.
