I also liked that the Instagram egg showed us just how vague the idea of content really is. I also agree that there were some weirdly unsettling quotes about AI in the Crawford article (that weren’t even from Crawford). I don’t even know what, “AI is the only science,” is supposed to mean, especially since, as you mentioned, we kind of brought up how regurgitative AI is in a class discussion. If AI mainly stores and draws on information how is that, “the only science?” Finally, yeah, I need more details on how this man decided to see if horses can do math

You raised an interesting question: is AI generative or regurgitative? I think it’s an issue a lot of people are grappling with right now. Can AI ever truly be a creative tool, or is it just mimicking what humans have already created? I believe at its current state, it is solely regurgitative, though I hope some time down the line that will change. How? I’m uncertain.

Lastly, the von Osten bit definitely had me laughing—trying to teach animals arithmetic does sound like something born out of extreme boredom! But it also feels oddly symbolic of how we sometimes push technology to ridiculous ends, hoping it’ll solve things it’s not equipped to handle.
