Does the machine dream? Does it act upon itself to create artwork independently? Yes, the machine does dream, but it does so alongside us. In the beginning, we acted as guides and users of these tools, creating artwork and aiding our processes. Along the way, as the tools and machines improved, they began to act of their own volition, and we saw the rise of semi-autonomous and autonomous AI. This birthed a new kind of artist, one that blends human bias with machine learning, all inside a little gray box. Tools that were once incapable of acting on their own can now do so. This has changed my perspective on AI as a tool. Once you give a tool the ability to act on its own, it becomes an entity. An entity that can be used, or persuaded by a human user, but can also make choices independently of human intervention. This stirs the question: when staring into the screens we look at on a daily basis, do we see ourselves or a landscape of artificiality? Can the internet be a place for both the artificial and the human user, or is it destined to become a dark digital forest?
