What Jamie wrote

Okay, first a little background.

Scheduling events is my kryptonite. I’m terrible at it. I often have a model that if the first run at dates doesn't work, it just wasn't meant to be. Scheduling is likely one of my worst anti-patterns.

So to me this bit of AI generated art is absolutely brilliant… so so great.

This piece simulates scheduling hell by generating infinite & unique combinations of meeting conflicts between two friends. Using GPT-3, a roster of fictional people was created with name, age, occupation, and interests. From these people, the AI generated banal conflicts that arise in their lives.

I can just watch it go on and on… it’s so horribly great. Just the best.

I love that you can buy them as NFTs as well! Fifteen are available to mint, and three have been sold so far. $5,000 though is a big gulp.
