@clarity i think part of what i've been looking for is a way to defuse ideas of AI-as-artist . . . a subject is in some sense defined by a thing that has an internal response that we care about, even if we can never genuinely access it.
in this sense i would like to say that all people are always subjects at some level.
i think you're asking about w/r/t the game you're livestreaming though which is a question i'll put off answering for now until i figure out more of this theory. good q tho!
