Kate Bush muses on AI in Christmas letter, likening it to London smog
repligate · x · 2026-11-06
Kate Bush's Christmas letter reflects on AI, comparing it to the London smog that fascinated Monet: are we standing in awe at AI's dawn? She wonders whether the dark shapes behind the gauze are Matrix-style human pods or freshly painted bridges carrying us into "a much longed-for new age of healthy thinking." repligate quotes it to argue that great artists shouldn't shun AI — great artists dive into the scary new transcendent thing rather than follow trends.
