yeah, this is why I like framing AI stuff in terms of cybernetics. it really can be an extension of your capability, but it requires you to think of it that way and plan your work differently.

One of the most lucid tweets I ever saw regarding AI was along the lines „We created a machine that acted like middle management and believed that meant it had a soul instead of understanding it meant that middle management didn’t.“

In terms of art, there are SO many great artists thinking critically about AI and its place in society. @eryk.bsky.social is one I consistently recommend as an artist who sees value in expression through the kinds of ecosystems of noise through which AI models articulate. Fascinating work.
