    Yea. This is my primary conceit with anything AI generated, it reproduces the statistical average response of whatever the prompt is. So that means it also reproduces the statistical average attitudes, unless you get lucky and manage to get it to regurgitate Mao or something.

    With most art, you can consciously work against even the base reality people assume. With AI art, that “base assumed reality” is now baked in, completely irremovable, unalterable. You can make comments on it, but you cannot actually change the bedrock itself.
