   When I’m browsing artist's bios, I see #NoAI a lot, but there's still a lot number with #NoNFT. It's been an exhausting couple of years, huh?

   On the other hand, NFTs turned out to be a bunch of nothing in the end, and I feel like just ignoring the whole thing would have worked.

   I feel like maybe this is true of AI ‘art’. It's boring. It doesn't even need a backlash.

     @john Israel is using it to murder Palestinians as we speak. I think a backlash is probably warranted.

     @john Yep. But it’s all the same tech. The same glorified auto-complete that’s drawing people with six fingers is murdering civilians in Gaza.

     @aral You mean AI military targeting? That's not what I'm talking about here, I'm an artist talking about art, and is the context most artists are using it in.
