The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason
And then I realized:
It's an Egg McGuffin.

So after we got over that whole McCarthyism crap in the 50s, we got the freedom of the 60s and the weirdness of the 70s and I just really hope I'm around to see straight men in makeup and crop tops and heels in 2040, dancing to Space Disco with long hair and mustaches once we're through ALL THIS.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

I love my baking shows, but this might be my favorite sort of exchange:
Announcer: Bakers, we asked for 12 cookies with flower flavors, and one had to have buttercream.
Judge 1: Oh, this is rose-flavored. That can taste soapy.
Judge 2: The buttercream is really sweet.
Judge 3: I don't like cookies.

Art - a painting, a novel, a movie, a sculpture - is magic. AI-generated art is a magic trick.
If you don’t know the difference between magic and a magic trick, you’re probably okay with AI.
