Money can't buy good taste - just look at the style of the rich. A.I can't automatically generate good taste - just look at the style of most of "AI Art". What is good taste? How does one get it? Does it even matter?

Culture has become a tiny clown circus
Through network analysis and sense making methods, it's easy to see just how tiny the western "thought leader" circus is in domains such as science, technology, philosophy, entrepreneurship, economics and entertainment. A highly controlled, self-referential echo-chamber where real innovation and dissent are sacrilege. And the few true outliers are mostly there as fish bait to guide surveillance systems and/or as controlled opposition. Great for comedy, bad for all else.

AI Artist - Comic by Calponpon
#Comment: Something about it taking 10,000h of practice to master something & how the practice itself is the goal and profoundly changes one character... But then again who cares, stop calling it "Art" and be done with the silly discussion. Generative Media is a form of communication.

For the current generation of children that will grow up in an environment where the majority of media they consume will be A.I generated, how will the feeling of nostalgia change compared to previous generations?

Pahsaheman: Lenape football-like hybrid sport (Howto play)
One of the more common activities of leisure for the Lenni Lenape would be the game of Pahsaheman: a football-like hybrid, split on gender lines. Over a hundred players were grouped into gendered teams (male and female), and would attempt to get a ball through the other team's goal post. However, men could not carry and pass the ball, only using their feet, while the women could carry, pass, or kick. If the ball was picked up by a woman, she could not be tackled by the men, although men could attempt to dislodge the ball. Women were free to tackle the men. These gender-split rules highlight how a woman's role in Lenape society was harmonious to a man's role, rather than acquiescent.

Control and Innovation are opposing forces.
"No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them." < This is why there are very few people thinking about truly groundbreaking and dangerous ideas in publicly visible science and technology today. Control and Innovation are opposing forces.
