A fucking KING right there.
He was just showing them how real artists feel, with AI chewing up all the art in the world and spitting out garbage
I kind of hate that it isn’t making a bigger point of the artist that made the “piece” in the first place and their incredibly unhealthy relationship with AI.
The guy was using it as his therapist, experienced what they self label as a psychosis, at some level see that it’s a bad influence on them, despite that used it to make a piece they got put in a gallery, and haven’t actually cut it out of their life. I don’t think it would be entirely unfounded to call it an addiction.
Someone needs to get the “artist” some actual, licensed psychological help.
It was more than a therapist. They made a “perfect match” partner.
Nick Dwyer Artist statement (from youtube)
Shadow Searching: ChatGPT psychosis is a body of work made in collaboration with artificial intelligence which depicts a co-op between a human artist and AI that started as a thought experiment to produce a perfect partner based on one’s Jungian shadow. In the process of this goal a compounding relationship formed with the ai chat bot via recursive mirroring. The work explores identity, character narrative creation and crafting false memories of relationships in an interactive role digitally crafted before, during and after a state of AI psychosis. This highlights and embodies a growing trend that can be dangerous or unpredictable which you are not immune to.
It is odd that the art is supposed to be a cautionary piece and yet on reddit they were still defending the use of AI in general.
I care very little about this particular person, but who allows people that speak like this to become “artists”? There is no way this person has anything actually interesting to say, and if they did, they lack the ability to communicate it, much less through a medium as indirect as art.
I agree with you completely, however because ChatGPT is $10/month (last I heard?) and a licensed psychologist is circa $120 per 30 min session… I sadly know what most people are going to choose.
2 bags of Street is the same price as an hour with a therapist? No wonder we’re all fucked up
I always upvote Kneekap, hadn’t seen that one. Cheers
