But when we look out twenty years – realizing that the next Shakespeare, Pollock, or Spielberg could actually be a piece of software – will creative AI also be faced with critical AI? Are… Continue reading Every creative AI should have an AI critic to keep it in check
Dark Patterns have ruined the Internet and you’ve probably fallen for them
