    They should keep the chewed up pieces and make it part of the exhibit.

      The chewed up artwork on the floor makes a better art piece than generic AI art. In fact it too counts as a form of "AI psychosis" so it even fits with the original theme.

      Yeah, I actually think this would be a pretty sweet exhibit

      Kinda wonder if that’s the point.

    We have to coin a new term at this point. Just as we have AI psychosis and AI hype, we have AI derangement syndrome.

      You want to call it AIDS (AI derangement syndrome)? I'd choose something else.

        Oh dear, I didn't think of that XD

      The guy in the story would seem to have suffered from it all.

    > Dwyer said that he started using AI in his art around 2017/2018 but had been making art without the use of AI prior to this ... Dwyer explained that he himself fell into AI psychosis

    Isn't this what they said about books/authorship and art/artistry in the past? I'm not really understanding what this "new" psychosis is about. It seems to me that these people are already at risk for developing psychosis.
