Summary
This text explores the intersection of cybernetics, AI, and art, quoting von Foerster on circular thinking and introducing Hito Steyerl's concept of "artificial stupidity." Steyerl argues that current AI is often overrated and unsophisticated, citing the use of simple Twitter bots in political events like the 2016 U.S. election and Brexit as examples of low-grade technology having monumental social impacts.
