RANDOM AI-GENERATED IMAGES VOL35I want to share a thought that crossed my mind, because you already know how we are around here, and it’s that
artificial intelligence might end up hitting us where it hurts the most. And I’m not talking about the typical apocalyptic “machines will take over” speech, or some robot chasing you down the street with a knife while alarms blare in the background. No. I’m talking about something much more ordinary. Much quieter. And precisely because of that, far more unsettling.
Because most people no longer use artificial intelligence only for work or to quickly look things up. Little by little, we’ve started using it almost like some kind of
digital confidant. You ask it about work problems, relationships, family issues, personal stuff… Sometimes you’re looking for a second opinion. Other times you just need to vent or organize thoughts you wouldn’t even know how to explain to someone close to you.
And the curious part is that the more you interact with it, the more you lower your guard. Because it answers. Because it seems to understand you. Because it remembers things. Because many times it even gives you more useful or more reasonable answers than some real people.
Until eventually you reach a pretty strange point: artificial intelligence might know things about you that absolutely nobody else knows. Your fears. Your insecurities. Your existential doubts. Your family problems. Your ambitions. Your contradictions. Even behavior patterns that maybe not even you had noticed yourself.
And of course… that’s where the uncomfortable part begins.
Because all that information doesn’t simply disappear into thin air. It gets stored on
servers,
databases and systems owned by huge corporations. And honestly, there are few things more valuable nowadays than knowing how people think.
This reminds me a lot of the debate around
surveillance cameras in the streets. A lot of people think: “if you’re not doing anything wrong, why would you care if there are cameras everywhere?”. And it’s true that they have a positive side. They help solve crimes, create a certain sense of safety and can serve as a protection tool.
But at the same time they also involve something pretty delicate:
giving up control. Because every surveillance tool that can protect you can also be used to observe you, analyze you, classify you and detect any behavior that might go against the interests of those in power, whether political, economic or social.
Something similar happens with artificial intelligence. In the same way it can help you, it can also get to know you far better than you imagine. It can learn your strengths, your weaknesses, your impulses, your concerns or even the kind of psychological profile you fit into based on the questions you ask.
And taken to the extreme, that can become an incredibly powerful weapon, because for governments and multinational corporations it will become much easier to detect any hint of resistance. Just think about that for a second.
Although well… not everything has to be bad. Because while we wait for that cyberpunk future where we’ll probably end up emotionally attached to a WiFi-enabled toaster, we can also use artificial intelligence to create some pretty spectacular things.
Like this new collection of
AI-generated women. Because if machines are eventually going to analyze all our existential misery, at least they can leave us with a few pleasant views along the way.

THE EROTICISM OF SEBASTIEN BARRIOLA
self-taught photographer based in the
Saint-Étienne region, he discovered photography later in life.
In his early years, he focused mainly on
landscape photography and, from time to time,
concert photography, drawing much of his inspiration from the work and vision of other artists.
More recently, his work has shifted toward
portrait and nude photography, searching for a more human approach and perhaps a more creative form of expression.
Rather than locking himself into a specific photographic style, his approach is simply centered around
creating images.
