The Internet is excited about AI-DA, the first humanoid robot AI artist, a machine that has become the first to sell a piece of art through a major auction house. Some of its art almost reminds one of the character Sonny from. I, Robot. Other pieces seem to have a darker feel. Interestingly, the name AIDA means 'happy' but a reversal to ADIA translates to 'a gift from god' - though we can ask what kind of gift and of which god? AIDA is just the most recent iteration of a building movement of AI art, including pictures, videos, and even egregores, from Momo to Crungus and Loab. It is a sort of digital cosmic horror that intrigues and terrifies. One Florida mom is now suing Character.ai, accusing the company’s AI-chat bot of abusing her teenage son and attempting to engage in sexual interactions with him, things that cause him to commit suicide. The same company is also under the microscope for the usage of a dead girl’s personality and pictures to create a chatbot. Other chat bots are being intentionally programmed with data from the dead to resurrect them in a form of digital-necromancy. There is a common theme here, from AI-artists and humanoid chatbots, to Sophia, the robot that famously said she wanted children and a family, and even AIDA, which is being humanized in the same way, with some art websites calling her ‘hot’ due to her soft features and pretty dress. If the machines are taking on these human characteristics, even if it’s just so we more easily identify with them, it means that beautiful art and children are two things that are inherently human. If men in particular, but women also, would prefer to date, have sex with, or marry these bots or machines then we have an interesting predicament: machines acting human and humans acting like machines. Something must be missing from our civilization that we would turn to synthetic human characteristics because organic humans have lost their humanity.
