> This is an art project and should not be conflated with reality. Also, I don't know what you're on about. AI generated nonsense is great. It's like the single use plastics of culture.

    Yeah this is from like 2022-2023, in the protozoic era of AI image generation. Uncanny valley bordering on body horror.

Waste of HN front page space; just what we need, more pollution of the information environment
