Creative future?

 

My prompt:
"Representation of AI"
through an image generator

I woke up the other day to find that my phone had updated and changed the color scheme. Anyone else?

I now had garish fluorescent pinks and yellows that clashed with everything else and made everything difficult to read. Spent a little while changing it to more usable colors.

Then thought of the color prompts some of my readers use as writing prompts. An idea that was interesting in painting prompts for my art journals, was using a bunch of color swatches to glue in and alter. It was an interesting experiment, but the names made me chuckle "caramel cashmere" to evoke luxury of painting your walls beige.

Then came LED lights that I couldn't paint under until enough people complained and a less harsh blue offered the option of the incandescent warm light I grew up with. Walking by windows that had installed those neon bulbs that changed colors for atmosphere. My artists eye doesn't find it relaxing.

Much of this is is using us as human experiments testing for the future of a digital world that will make "real" fake and prepare human sensory perception for the magenta color separation of printers. 

These are not good changes. Because many of these colors do not exist in the real world. 

Our environment is being altered. We get to run a maze of click here, watch this. The public is barely amazed at the new Artemis 2 images because CGI has already created better images for science fiction.

I was certain that reading a lot of blogs in which knitting is talked about would give me more suggested ads about knitting. Oddly it didn't. Knitting is a favorite hobby among many, but I assume not one that the textile industry invests marketing dollars in.

I was watching a heartwarming video of a hummingbird rescue (the ingenuity of a popsicle stick and duct tape...)

And was completely distracted by other rescue videos below it. Horrific abused animals and mangled AI creatures of the you won't believe...sensationalism. Scientists cannot explain type of AI slop.

The image above was text to image generated. I prompted it several times and kept getting an unrealistic female form with Metropolis movie vibes.

So I'm being told what colors to like. What hobbies I should be interested in. I'm being shown an aesthetic that isn't mine. Shown images that I consider disturbing. This is what a small group of non-creatives are telling the rest of us to like and thereby limiting our choices.
