I can see this type of AI finally being relegated to a sort of library attendant role. A globglogabgalab that's eaten all the books and can entertain for hours burping up all kinds of things. But not much wisdom there

to this and its parent post: this probably upsets everyone involved but I liked corporate memphis because it felt like a dissemination and acknowledgement of a dominant style in (indie) comics at the time (thinking e.g. eleanor davis, like 2014), was humanistic and reasonably pleasant to look at

Corporate Memphis led directly to the creation of one of my favorite games of all time, so even that succeeded in inspiring creativity.

i have fairly light experience with them but i feel that everyone should have to make one novice tracery bot before they’re allowed to say whether or not output is “ai”

I know it's gauche to quote tolkien but genuinely the most interesting thing in his letters to me is this one from 1963 wherein he laid out in very plain terms what I think is THE fundamental thing that makes so much art have a life in your head beyond what you see on a page or play in a game

I am doubtful myself about the undertaking. Part of the attraction of the L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background: an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing the towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist. To go there is to destroy the magic, unless new unattainable vistas are again revealed.
