It's not like this is exactly a new phenomenon - Plato's famous "Allegory of the Cave" was a thought experiment in how the media we consume can create what we perceive as reality - it's just that we're discussing an uncomfortably recent intersection of philosophy with computer science. I said it a few times in the threads that blew up over Google's diverse Nazi bungle; I didn't get into computers to discuss anthropology and how humanity constructs meaning; I actually did it to avoid that and do work I considered purely practical after washing out of a liberal arts degree. That said, the whole thing ironically felt like very good art in the sense that it got people to discuss the nature of these generative AI systems. For me especially, the image of the Black Pope was very thought provoking as a (lapsed) Catholic; why is it that there has never been a black pope?
