Reversed a gif with Gimp. Realized this could be a commentary on the whole robot Olympics.

It's not part of 'the' Olympics but news here reported the robots broke human running records. They were obviously very fast but hadn't figured out how to stop

I've had a robot vacuum cleaner for over a year which is harder to empty than human vacuum cleaners and has a female voice. I clean the house with a smart phone but robot lawn mowers.....they remind me of a Stephen King movie

There could be running events for robot lawn mowers.....'the lawn mower 500'

I watched this and it seemed to say 'Nidhogg would like this'.

That was probably done entirely with AI. Got me thinking about Crichton's Westworld, classic that mixed AI and western theme. I've spotted AI used on some newer movies and it looked absolutely awful. Fake blood and rubber-adhesives FTW.

Knowing you're into fractals, I had an idea. How about a chaotic bonkers fractal movie? :hehe

Yes 'Wanted reloaded' would be total AI. I saw another AI video with a steampunk look that's a lot more female friendly

Outside The Frame

AI is flooding UTube as both music and imagery. I think the 'Sounds or visuals were altered or fully generated' tag is good but AI harvested everybody else's work to generate the stuff so they expect to be re-processed.

I have no interest in generating 'content' for a World that's lost the plot. I think there will be a shakedown economically and socially.
