With the Advent of Artificial Intelligence making a new visual and written framework for the modern world in 2023. It is now becoming a Style or Genre quickly falling into a kind of absurdist, DADA type of art movement.
Apple releases its Augmented/Virtual Reality $3499.- headset to assuage the public and lack of innovation on existing software.
I can only describe this pivotal moment as being the most menacing 'red herring' in my humble opinion.
As we currently have a systematic visual culture that rides on the coat tails of marketing homogeneity, human design and perception management. We are simultaneously creating the Ouroboros of technology and art with popularisation of A.i. The best visual metaphor being the snake eating its tail. Virtual reality has been around for over 20 years yet no one wants to game with a Headset as per influential movies from the 1980's, such as 'Lawnmower man'.
Once the A.i style becomes an easily identified trope it will cease to amaze and influence a generation already overly saturated by mass media, cliches, and trending bullshit.
I find it highly unlikely that A.i could innovate, or be used to add value other than a background wallpaper or screensaver. The only use I see it having is as a Deus ex machina function (unresolved character that resolves the plot). So people will use it like a simple Yes no machine or ideas generator for those who lack vision or imagination.
Instead of Googling it.
AI it.
