Dream Trace 梦溯

Our lives are taken over by AI. We let AI help us generate fantasy or dream scenes—but is the process mutual? Are we becoming accustomed to the logic of AI and the chaos of images? Will my subconscious be altered by this?

Chapter 2  「蚀」Erosion

Real-world data streams are being contaminated by AI, with machine learning models ‘watering down’ real data sets, interweaving false information with reality, and gradually devouring all the raw data.
