I remember curating directories of church websites in the 90s. Each one had dancing Jesus gifs, spinning gold crosses, burning bushes, MARQUEE tags. I remember all of us with tenner a month Demon websites. Itโs not only AI that professionalises and homogenises everything, thatโs just capitalism.
The more GEN AI creeps into everyday life the more people will miss the amateur art around them. School murals done by students, hole-in-the-wall restaurant menus put together by an employee using free clipart, even "bad" paintings done at a drink and paint event-Things with human imperfections.
