Merci aux auteurs de cette tribune. Lors de cette émission, ma première intention avait été d'interpeller ici à grands coups de pokes et de pings. Je m'en suis abstenu, lassé des indignations si typiques des RS. Même si c'est un peu plus tard, un tel texte permet de préserver la qualité du débat.

Apropos of nothing, here's a book about how bad art drives out the good in authoritarian states, as artists' careers depend on producing art which flatters those in power rather than the ability to make quality art. AI art supercharges this process by not requiring any actual artists.
