I'm not totally sure that it's correct to group the artist with people who think lazily about AI. If the artist was trying to literally suggest that this trap would work, then, yeah, that would be silly and misinformed. But I think he was just being cheeky and using this as an example of a rule outside of its context being rendered meaningless (which is explicitly declared to be the point of the work). That in itself is a worthwhile point in a deeper way (because your model always fails when you hit outliers you haven't trained for), and I kind of liked that the visual form was of a car-summoning ritual.

Or maybe the artist is just a lazy anti-AI person and I am giving him too much credit. But I wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion.
