    It kind of IS a meaningful distinction, though. You can get power and influence without seeking it, and you can seek power and influence without having it. Not everyone who has power is genocidal and not everyone who is genocidal has power.

    The idea that power corrupts feels like a way for the corrupt to blame something other than themselves for their corruption. They justify their evil deeds by saying “anyone in my position would do the same,” ignoring all the people not doing the same. They were always corrupt, but nobody noticed until they had power.

    It’s not dada. It’s too coherent to be dada, and it’s too shit to be anything else.

    In order for something to be an artistic choice, it has to be a choice. It has to have meaning and intent. AI did not choose to put a glass there, it calculated that there was probably a glass there based on shitty reasoning. AI does not have the creative capacity to make art. It can only make images, and those images are shit.

    You’ve thoroughly proven you can’t tell between slop and high art, so thank you for the compliment of my critique.
