An essay on generative AI (with brief mention of mail art)

I just got my long critique of generative AI published in ArtStyle. Might be of interest to some of you. At the end I quote Nonlocal Variable.

the idea that there are “positive values” that determine which tools are allowed in mail art makes no sense to me.

you are of course free to reject AI in your own work... personally i will continue to experiment with whatever tools i find interesting and i will happily undermine any attempts to introduce prohibitions into mail art.
