Student arrested for eating AI art in UAF gallery protest (opens in new tab)

They should keep the chewed up pieces and make it part of the exhibit.

Mastications, ingurgitations and excretions are our primary mission!

In any case: AI is incapable of making art since it has no desires, agency or needs yet.

I have been making, mounting and printing digital images then afterwards painting over them to give them substance; I have been doing this since the 90s and nobody pays attention to my work; I guess I would need this guy to come to my shows and chew on my art in protest.

> Dwyer said that he started using AI in his art around 2017/2018 but had been making art without the use of AI prior to this ... Dwyer explained that he himself fell into AI psychosis

Isn't this what they said about books/authorship and art/artistry in the past? I'm not really understanding what this "new" psychosis is about. It seems to me that these people are already at risk for developing psychosis.

We have to coin a new term at this point. Just as we have AI psychosis and AI hype, we have AI derangement syndrome.

This was performance art.

The student is charged with a class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.
