What if, in a time of infinity content, a meta-reading of the shape and feel of content has become a survival skill?

What if we thought about generative AI more as an expression of an epochal shift in human communication than a root cause?

"Hallucinating Sense in the Era of Infinity Content" was written in early 2024 by Caroline Busta for Document Journal SS 2024.
