I like this 1980s Kim Gordon quote to partly explain why AI wont supplant human art: “People pay to see others believe in themselves”

Already seeing increased cultural cachet of handmade over automatic. An expression of “faith in ourselves,” as Miyazaki put it after the AI demo

Close-up view looking up at a tree with snow-crusted branches radiating outward in an intricate pattern against a bright winter sky, backlit to create a glowing effect through the icy limbs.

Small birds perch on bare, snow-crusted tree branches against a pale blue sky. City buildings partially visible in the background.

Ornate silver gate caked with snow featuring a decorative lion motif. The metalwork shows intricate scrollwork and brass accents, with a brick building and red awning visible behind.

Graffiti-covered sheet metal and chain-link fence encloses a snowy car lot with trees heavily caked with fresh snow. Buildings visible in the background.

Peaceful snow-covered park under a gray winter sky. Trees and bushes frosted with ice. Two people build a snowman. Brick apartment building in the background.

Outdoor performance space, covered in snow. Vibrant murals, dancing figures in red and green on lower walls, with an abstract figurative mural above. Two children play beneath the snowy trees.

Brooklyn park-goers walking near a modern building. Snow-covered roof and ground create stark geometric shapes. Frost-laden trees frame the angular architecture.

A rural farm scene with a weathered barn and fencing. Two horses, one white and one brown, trot in a pasture under leafless trees. A few geese rest near a pond on an overcast day.

A hillside cemetery with numerous headstones scattered across green grass. Leafless trees line the top of the hill against an overcast sky. Some graves marked with small American flags.

View from a cemetery overlooking a small town with mountains in the distance. Weathered headstones dot the grassy hillside, a main road with trucks and commercial buildings runs through the valley below.

A crescent moon centered in a twilight sky above dark clouds. A gas station sign glows against a orange and purple sunset.

Many horses wearing colorful blankets running across a fenced pasture as the sun sets. Bare trees line the horizon, black fences divide the farm fields.


A herd of white and black cattle gathered on a hillside pasture, warm afternoon light. A pond reflects winter trees, wood fences visible along the fields.


A brown horse wearing a halter standing in a dimly lit barn, looking directly. Natural light filters through windows, illuminating the wooden stall walls.


Interior of a rustic barn with exposed wooden beams. American flag hangs from the ceiling, several horses stand in stalls below.

Pope Leo XIV: Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #Al to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

“…every design choice expresses a vision of humanity.”
