> 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. Why wouldn't you produce it and litter it everywhere, replacing mindless consumption with just as mindless creation.

For those not reading to the end this is the point of the piece.

I would be on the hat side myself, not so much for formality but for environmental control. My wife has better skin than most women her age because she’s always worn a hat. As for me…

I don't recommend expanding the images and looking at people's faces. Something about being mangled in black and white is really disturbing.

    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
