Jevon’s Paradox (Circular Diffusion) #
GANs and generative AI enable groundbreaking new approaches to visual communication. They automate artistic production and auto-complete visual concepts, transforming low-dimensional ideas into high-resolution imagery. But they also create new concerns ranging from computational plagiarism to excessive energy usage. Circular Diffusion is a reflection on the perils and possibilities of generative AI technologies and their unavoidable relationship to energy and propaganda. The title is a reference to newly developed AI diffusion algorithms, their power to automate the production of awe-inspiring imagery, and the circular logic of extrapolation.
