What is the network that sustains this object?

  • How does it move from person to person, person to software, to platform, what things are attached to it (visual culture)
  • Networks of attachments
  • How does it relate / sustain a collective? (human + non-human)

How does it evolve through time?

Evolution of the interface for these objects. Early chatgpt offered two parameters through the API: prompt and temperature. Today extremely complex object with all kinds of components and parameters. Visually what is the difference? Richness of the interface in decentralization (the more options, the better...)

Diverging tendencies in the ways users are invited to prompts in AI systems. One philosophy is to ask as little as possible from the user. With only a few words, the user get what they supposedly want. The system has to make up for all the bits that are missing, context, etc. This involves prompt augmentation on the server side. Also a lot of implicit assumptions.

The other approach is to give the user all the means to prompt as an expert. Prompt expansion is visible to the user, providing tools to improve the prompt, offer context, continuous chat, etc. Image generation in Stable Horde is stateless. Meaning that every prompt is considered in isolation. The system can't infer anything from past prompts, no concepts of sessions. Much harder to create this sense of continuity than with a centralized service such as OpenAI's chatGPT.

(When does the negative prompt appear? )

How does it create value? Or decrease / affect value?

What is its place/role in techno cultural strategies?

How does it relate to autonomous infrastructure?
