My unscripted, somewhat scattered train of thought about AI tools like Stable Diffusion being used in VJing, visuals made for music, glitch art, remix culture, and visual art more broadly. It is an attempt to convey a point of view that challenges anti-AI usage in visual art, and a beginning point for re-thinking the bigger assumptions we have made about what it means to be an artist and a creative person. I invite your feedback in the comments.

This talk is over a live concert recording from PURE LIVE LONDON II on October 28, 2023. I did visuals for two sets and collaborated on one. Here are the links to dive deeper into the relevant artists:
