in 1986, Midwest USA, late July around 4 pm CST, I saw a spherical object enter the atmosphere with a big smoke trail, at about half the distance to the horizon. It turned in a big arc 180 degrees, moved back the way it came, maybe a quarter of the distance and exploded. My brother called the airport to report what we saw. the person listened to his description then replied "supernova!" then hung up. I don't think there were any green men involved but it wasn't a fucking supernova.

The AI did not actually create the art. The programmer gave the AI the ability and method for which to create the art, therefore the programmer is the artist and the AI is simply his brush.

When I was in art school I got to experience that, except there was a little more anger in the message and the fucker was wearing a wedding dress. He also had a fan blowing behind him, toward the audience so that no one missed that experience, quite unforgettable.

You know if you purchased the internet history of the politicians and then showed it to them (or everyone), they might see this issue differently.
