Should we be concerned about how artificial intelligence may eventually control and replace our lives with that of avatars? This is a hot current debate and one which will continue to unfold as new technology emerges, only limited by the capabilities of human thought. There are now many search tools and websites which write essays, stories and alternate timelines of stories by entering text and prompts.
I am more interested however in visual art and how words can suggest images, and so with this in mind I decided to have a go and enter “Rattlechain Lagoon” to see what AI came up with.
The name itself has always had Scooby Doo connotations , even though the reality is one which probably came from the clanking of rattle chain- a type of chain which drove the workings of the brick factory works as it then was. The picture above imagines a volcanic Middle Earth type world of red mountains and a blue lagoon sea of phosphorescence. I think Bob Ross, or even Blob Phos would be proud of such a painting. 😛
This is a world of no life, of darkest nights with just a hint of breaking dawn, and maybe “a place in which nothing could live.”
Further images from a different site again show more of the phosphine waters and similar landscapes
This Rattlechain lagoon is a lake of fire and spontaneous ignis fatuus.
So long as it stays around this level, and does attempt to control us, I believe this type of thing is fine and is rather cool. There is certainly no doubt that AI provides a more realistic interpretation of Rattlechain lagoon than that of the wild imagination of Rhodia Solvay management, their environmental consultant delusions, and their paid up local political and civil service cocksuckers with their Quaker Garden 15 minute Cities.
