Art Bots
From Andi (@mcc) over on her cohost blog:
So there was this established scene of personally crafted, artistic bots. This scene is being forcibly terminated by capital. and at the exact same time, ChatGPT et al are bringing a new generation of corporate-sponsored, vaguely oppressive bot interactions into our lives (strictly-controlled by the model-"owning" corporation, often passed off as the work of actual humans, built on a mix of exploitation of low-paid labor & unpaid commercial expropriation of other people's copyrighted work).
