I was stuck when I noted down the two words generated for me: Sheep & Cruelty.
My mind first went to the obvious candidates for topics:
- Animal cruelty
- Sheep being mean.
- Animal Rights
- Ethics?
Eventually, through a process of generating alternatives we arrived here:
- Following something/someone like sheep.
- Cruelty -> Suffering -> A long winded discussion on suffering as a necessity for consciousness with a friend -> AI conciousness
My first thought was a clan of AI powered beings following a human like sheep. But we need things to be more exciting.
This led to a number of humans following an AI like sheep. They don’t believe the AI is malevolent, but that since it is super-intelligent, it must know what is best for them.
I threw in some sheep, cause why not. I drew a part of the image and superimposed it on a background created using stable diffusion.
You might find some references to previous totalitarian regimes in the drawing:
