Dan, loved this and think that you might enjoy this article that was recently shared with me: https://culture.ghost.io/our-natural-human-defenses-against-a-i-culture/

In it, the author notes that: "Appreciating cultural innovation requires a belief there is intention behind it. There is already good research demonstrating that our brains reject visual art that seems to lack intention."

^ Golden toilet seats in modern art museums collecting scoffs and "I could do that" comments, etc.

Your closing note about your nephew tied the two essays together - causing me to wonder about how our human desire to understand intent will shift in the era of generative AI.

@everyto_9728 thanks this is incredible! i think intentionality is the EXACT word i've been looking for to describe what would make me want to pay attention to anything produced by an AI (or to ignore it).

appreciate you sharing, and glad you liked the article!
