what if Gen AI fatigue leads to an aesthetic backlash towards raw, unprocessed "inputs" and we start sharing shorter sketches or raw prompts. more like the left side of this luma ad. If the processed version is so samey, you could just conjure it in peoples heads directly, like greentext memes.

Amos Poe had this no wave film Unmade Beds that sort of recreated Godards Breathless within NYC. The character Rico fantasizes the Big Apple as the City of Lights (calling the Washington Square Arch the Arc de triomphe)
