A short excerpt from a TED Talk ("In the Age of AI Art, What Can Originality Look Like?" by Eileen Isagon Skyers) reflecting on how neural networks synthesize millions of images to produce visuals that feel both familiar and alien. The speaker describes AI as a mirror that collectively co-creates with humans—raising questions about originality and how humans are drawn to things they cannot fully understand.

AI as a technology is fascinating to us because we're inherently drawn to things we cannot understand. And with neural networks processing data from thousands of other images made by people from every possible generation, every art movement, millions of images in one simple scan, they can produce visuals that are so familiar, yet strikingly unfamiliar. More poetically, AI mirrors us. We are all now collectively co creating with AI, whether we're aware of it or not.
