Imagine: you are offered the perfect steak. It looks flawless, smells appetizing, but it is made of soy. There is no history of a bull grazing on grass, not a drop of blood, not a single sinew. It is empty.
This is precisely what is happening today with works generated by artificial intelligence. They are sleek, striking, but behind them there is no soul, no life, no accidental sun flare in the frame. These are “soy creations” — simulacra that never had a singular original.
And so we stand on the threshold of a new world. A world where:
A documentary can be shot without leaving home.
A stuntman no longer risks his life for the perfect stunt.
Any fantasy can be realized by a single team.
Sounds like utopia? But there is a price to pay. Our reality will begin to feel nauseated by this perfect, yet tasteless, digital food. ...Or will it?
The reflections are presented within.
