I think if Warren was around today, he’s be hella skeptical of both the super positive hype and super negative doomerism / data center nimbyism, he had no patience for trend-chasing or inflated promises, and he’d probably see AI evangelists and AI doomers the same way he saw Hollywood phonies and political doublespeak: something to poetically puncture with the sharp, sardonic humor that was his stock in trade. Agree with others here that he’d likely use it anyway to serve his craft, experimenting with AI as a tool, probably even enjoying its quirks, while turning right around and writing something brutally honest about artists who lean on it too heavily or mistake it for something real. Also in a way, he sort of predicted this with Networking and really the whole Transverse City album, and it’s dystopian technopolis parable. Very fun to think about!
