Can AI Produce Culture?
summary
Argues that AI is a tool, not an agent, and its unpredictable effects are emergent from human–tool interaction rather than independent agency. Shows concrete differences in training: massive but uneven datasets that underrepresent performing arts and raise copyright gaps. Proposes embracing model hallucinations as creative material, not bugs. Claims the conversational interface creates a new form of philosophical dialogue, making prompt-writing as a craft that shapes what cultural work gets produced.
