I guess this was mostly about technology interfering with the arts

I had a more direct response to this but I went off on a tangent like I always do - my bad.

My unwritten point was basically that people already follow the personalities behind the art and that's how it should be. Nobody gets excited about an algorithm dealing with the struggles of the 'human' experience.

If anything, AI is going to force us to shine. I scroll through Facebook these days and see impossible animations and incredible art. I don't even stop my scrolling under the assumption it's just AI. Everyone else is doing the same. There's going to be a point where people just switch off and turn to art being created on the streets in front of their faces.

I know the online world would ultimately be a healthier and trustworthy place if it was built with more of a hive-like emphasis, but there's so many problems with the concept of a mainstream Hive it's probably just not worth it.
