Fuck AI

Most artists and people who take an interest in the arts agree that this homogenisation was happening before AI and would be still be happening without it. No doubt this new technology is adding automation to the process of producing homogenous art but in my opinion the root cause of it is a deeper cultural problem. It seems to me that human existence has been completely penetrated by the values of business and commodification, which having been established are now in a phase of refinement and consolidation.

My felt experience is that there's an ineffable pressure to conform that is constantly increasing, in both the content of the art and it's context/how it's presented.

I think that what we're likely to see are parallel worlds of art. The first and biggest being the homogenous, public and commercial one which we're seeing now but with more of it produced by machines, and the other a more intimate, private and personal one that we discover by tuning back into our real lives and recognising art that has been made by others who are doing the same. I'm quite excited about that actually. It's an opportunity for a revolution while the rest of the world is looking away.
