Agreed. New adaptive instincts will emerge in everyone in a hot minute, like cognitively filtering out “sponsored” content in ones mind. I don’t even see ads anymore. If its not human, no spectacle counts. Who cares. Image drain. I exclude from this, genuine human artistry amplified by new AI tools…but like all art of worth, it will be the hard won progression into genuine novelty that is worthy of attention that matters…as it’s always been. Resonance with depth, in particular the depth of the conscious of the artist, I think, will remain the hallmark of great art. Particularly if the level of consciousness is higher than the viewer’s, and thereby, even for a brief moment, transporting one to a new & higher level - this is what makes “great” great. Transcendence. Merely flooding the zone with the latest “paint set” trinkets is just novelty grifting, and the countdown on the half life of that has started. The collective immune system has begun - your post @trish evidences it.

with you! (but also can i please see the scooter seagull anyway)

thought vomit

I was duped by sprinting tortoises and that was even before AI. I just wanted to believe so bad.

pay no attention to the rug behind the curtain

Big question, when ai will come to FC?

Haha you saw that too eh? Like who the fuck cares? It never even seemed real! I guess 20 years ago photoshop ruined the internet? And I guess 10 years before that, (obviously) not being the hot woman into fat guys with glasses that you claimed to be ruined IRC, and before that not being the phone phreaker who hacked Bell, you claimed to be, at the “hacker club meetups” that were just a few guys, at the pizza parlor your uncle probably didn’t even own the franchise rights to, completely ruined “the net.” It’s all an illusion and maybe that’s the whole fucking point of the internet. 🌎👩‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

would you like a video of a real seagull?
