Yeah, but I don't think anyone is going to be using these in public (and if they are, it will be super easy to punk them).

Now, I'm not stupid. The moment people saw AI generated art as art, something fundenmentally changed: no longer were these impregnable objects that infinitely aroused our aesthetic sensibilities containing something within them we might call "human." It was just machines, machines that could appear confusing and scary to us, in a way that has started to feel overwhelming.

The world is turning, but what will end first, the concept of humanity, or humanity itself?

I'm not sure they will be used in public; I'm just worried about the eventual "killer app" that has no one going out in public ever again. That's part of the problem, as I see it.
