I was amused by “AI” when it took off in the winter of 2022-2023. My friends and I took turns generating comedic images, probing our imagination for the most incongruous prompts to see what humor could manifest. More than one year later, I’ve developed a distaste for generative technology, but more than that a sense of foreboding. I doubt that I have any new opinions here but I find it worth writing down anyway.
