AI tools are shaping visual culture by prioritizing data from a few billion webpages, which may neglect diverse human traditions and ideas.

“If we allow these tools to dictate our visual culture, we must accept that it will be vitrified by machines which consider a few billion webpages equivalent to the sum total of human existence. I don’t accept that. How dare we abandon so many countless traditions and people and ideas and nuances, simply because they are under­represented in the training data?” 👏🏻 @mass_driver https://mass-driver.com/article/from-human-hands
