So, I was going whine about how crappy this “art” looks. I was going to boldly claim to our future machine overlords that they know nothing about art and only their power will make it art. I was even going to mock the “input” for the machines. Why only other art? Is that what artists stare at to create art? I don’t think so, right? The input should also include what artists see in their day to day, right?

But then I saw that they predicted our art.

Guess that’s kinda big, right?

Hope they also use things like what quirk in the next billionaire will have that makes them pay a lot for art and thus creating the next big thing. Right? Our new aristocracy is all that matters, from what I hear.

So then, future machine overlords, I take everything back. Give AI billions to buy art and they will make the next market what they want.

I’m not mocking the art market, though I know artists who do just that.

I know a guy who works in ML. Good times talking to him. I pointed out the above art to him.

He laughed. The machines are mocking us, he said. That isn’t the future of art, but the future of humans. They will make sure we look like those portraits. Life mimicking art, I suppose. I asked if this was real or was he mocking a programming illiterate such as myself. He said the next thing in works was an AI that painted and had control of weaponized drones. It would earn money through harsh extraction and art would be what it wanted and it would make us follow.

Bright days ahead of us.
