The Most Conceptual of the Conceptualists
In last week's post, The Most Surreal of the Surrealists (March 2025), I wrote,
I once explored conceptual art in a post mysteriously titled (... drum roll ...), Chess in Conceptual Art (March 2017). Maybe it's time to turn the subject over to AI comics.
Unfortunately, the AI software doesn't seem to have 'conceptual' in its vocabulary. The half-dozen examples it created had nothing to do with anything except the royal game itself. Then I remembered a trick used in Color the Proteins (January 2025), i.e. 'Demis Hassabis plays chess with a green protein.' While 'protein' is a noun, 'conceptual' is an adjective. Can you color an adjective? I tried coloring it both green and red, and here's a sample of what I got.
'Marcel Duchamp plays red conceptual chess.'
AI Comic Factory
Can you color an adjective? No, you can't. The software applies the adjective to one of the nouns, which are Marcel Duchamp and chess. Next post: Get as far away from this nonsense as I can.
