This is of course inspired from that “AI entrepreneur” douchebag that spent $745 to commission a treat printer to print out a shitty and soulless whitewashed version of Princess Mononoke and assigned himself that title the way that putting a quarter in a gumball machine makes someone a candy entrepreneur.
I really don’t have a good answer. Anyone else?
I don’t have high hopes for mass culture (penny dreadfuls and their descendents date back to the printing press), but true art has always thrived on the margins. AI (hopefully) won’t change that, but it’ll make the going harder.
