John Conway in Elk: "When I’m browsing artist's bios, I see ..."

When I’m browsing artist's bios, I see #NoAI a lot, but there's still a lot number with #NoNFT. It's been an exhausting couple of years, huh?

On the other hand, NFTs turned out to be a bunch of nothing in the end, and I feel like just ignoring the whole thing would have worked.

I feel like maybe this is true of AI ‘art’. It's boring. It doesn't even need a backlash.

I've have similar thoughts about it.

Israel is using it to murder Palestinians as we speak. I think a backlash is probably warranted.

You mean AI military targeting? That's not what I'm talking about here, I'm an artist talking about art, and is the context most artists are using it in.

Yep. But it’s all the same tech. The same glorified auto-complete that’s drawing people with six fingers is murdering civilians in Gaza.
