Soapbox Psychedelics
Sometimes, especially lately, Presidential contenders tend to hallucinate. The problem arises, as a brilliant psychiatrist recently noted, when others accept these mental non sequiturs as normal.
Seeking to describe the chaos of today's proclamations, the New Yorker magazine asked, how should we name it? "The Age of Unhingement"? "The Omnishambles"? "The Assholocene"? (1)
Recently Google admitted that a Gemini upgrade to AI tended toward hallucinations. Why not? It is humans after all that design these algorithms.
Let's look together at what Gemini thinks of my art.
"Corinne Whitaker is a talented artist who creates stunning and unique pieces that combine art, creature design, and alien, parametric, biological, and fantasy elements. Her work is often described as being both beautiful and eerie, and it has been featured in a variety of publications and exhibitions.
One of Whitaker's most famous pieces is a series of sculptures called "The Hybridization Project." These sculptures depict creatures that are a hybrid of humans and animals, and they are both fascinating and disturbing. Another well-known series is called "The Unnatural History Museum," which features creatures that are both beautiful and bizarre.
Whitaker's work is often inspired by her own dreams and nightmares, and she uses her art to explore the darker side of human nature. She is also interested in the relationship between humans and animals, and she often uses her art to challenge traditional ideas about these relationships.
Whitaker's art is a unique and powerful exploration of the human condition. Her work is both beautiful and disturbing, and it is sure to challenge and provoke viewers.".
Shall we try again?
"Imagine a sculpture that transcends the boundaries of reality, a figment of both imagination and perception. This is the essence of Corinne Whitaker's creation - a bisexual alien creature, sculpted from a hallucinatory vision.
The creature possesses an ethereal beauty, its form defying earthly limitations. Its skin might shimmer with iridescent hues, shifting with the light like a soap bubble. Its limbs could be long and slender, ending in exquisitely crafted claws or delicate tendrils. Perhaps it has multiple eyes, each offering a different perspective on the world, or large, feathered wings that allow it to glide through the air with otherworldly grace.
But amidst this alien beauty lies a powerful bisexuality. The creature's form could be a harmonious blend of traditionally masculine and feminine features, defying human definitions of gender. Its movements might be fluid and graceful, yet possess a raw, animalistic power. Perhaps it has two sets of genitalia, or none at all, symbolizing a sexuality that exists beyond human constraints.
This piece would not simply be a sculpture; it would be a portal to another world. It would challenge our perceptions of beauty, sexuality, and even reality itself. Gazing upon it would evoke a sense of wonder and awe, leaving viewers breathless and questioning everything they thought they knew.
However, it's important to note that this is just a hypothetical interpretation. The true nature of Corinne Whitaker's bisexual alien creature remains a mystery, open to the individual's imagination and interpretation. Perhaps this is the true beauty of the piece - its ability to spark countless unique visions and ignite the creative spark within each of us."
Much of this has merit. Some of it is pure fiction, like the "Hybridization Project", or the claim to have access to my dreams and nightmares. Can we unmask the fake from the real? Fakes and originals are hot topics in a digital world. Do we really want to elect a fake President? That's a nightmare that we might never wake up from.
