Musician's reframe: AI is internet culture itself, maybe there's just 'art' not 'machine art'
intellectronica · x · 2026-10-03
- A musician friend offers a striking reframe: "AI is you, it's me, it's the culture of the internet and everything we were and know — by definition, AI is who we are."
- The author extends it: perhaps instead of "machine art" vs "human art," we could simply call it art.
- The reposter adds a metaphor: AI is like all of us going to the gym every day and working out for a million years per session.
