Jamming With AI

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXs6rmMEXtS2b7HMyPmJN7ZSyfbV5VrmCAxjydF3zmVXW/image.png)

Hello and welcome to this evening's edition of *Coffee After Midnight.*  We all know the best ideas come when you mix caffeine and lack of sleep, so why not put it to good use?

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQN5cqeqe5DtsyTP9YN4EfCJJJ14L2sCkuG5tLQ9wEnzH/image.png)

Tonight's bright idea was to use MidJourney for a little [culture jamming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_jamming).  *Sounds simple enough, right?*  Being a bit fuzzy on the 'how' aspect of this seemed to call for the tried and occasionally true method of fucking around until you figure it out.

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmThbB5SMpx1vF8Jzk9ZCP8B53GrFkDqGdMBdd1NepHt7H/image.png)

*Bit too on the nose for present purposes..*  If we're going to force machines to learn about us it only seems fair that they get to have a little fun at our expense too.

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYcX7ERZXoVNRXqNUKdPVjJvRFtVJKsJdTwH7nHhWs4SW/image.png)


Never quite managed to get anything that'd qualify as culture jamming, more just disconcerting.  To quote the 10 Commandments, *"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable,"* so that's at least a step in the right direction.

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmV8V7U8SDGDc2sd1FU6mR4wrcky9HtBfu9kyWW9j4RctP/image.png)

In a way AI art is just like going to an art gallery.  You have no clue what the fuck is going on or why in half the stuff you look at but with AI there's no possible chance of an explanation.  *It's kinda beautiful.*

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQMZrhu1PMuMrXiGZ1zPaf3KHBP8PoqUf61BLTZF58ohR/image.png)


Coffee's gone and sleep is calling, so that's all for this edition of *Coffee After Midnight.*  *Anyone got thoughts or ideas on culture jamming or using AI for it?*

Ha, thank you!  That will happen again sooner rather than later I suspect :)

I only just learnt what culture jamming is. With the integration of AI, it seems like a force.

I have research to do it seems

I only happened upon the concept by accident myself.  It was one of those things that I'd been fumbling with some of the basic concepts of but had no coherent framework for until I wandered down a wikipedia rabbit hole and stumbled upon that.  I feel like so much of what we take for granted in our lives, if viewed from a more detached and dispassionate perspective would seem absurd.  I feel like the AI is uniquely suited for that because it is fed all these things but lacks the connections, attachments, and associations that humans would have.

I've tried to take a similar approach with my photography at times but there's an element of chance to it that sometimes complicates things, which got me to exploring AI's potential for it.

Hey, there's always more research to be done, it's when you think there's none that you need to be worried :)

Thank you for the boost!
