AI Mind: Critical Monitoring of AI Discourse

A methodology for tracking and analyzing how "AI" functions as term, concept, and political object in public discourse.

"AI Mind" is a term I developed to monitor the pulse of what gets communicated as "AI" in public discourse. The core argument: "AI" functions as an abstraction that obscures more than it reveals. The term encompasses corporate services, open source initiatives, academic research, and speculative applications, yet public discourse treats it as a singular, coherent entity.

"AI" becomes a target for societal complaints while those who make consequential choices remain unnamed. The discourse mixes corporate marketing, research findings (often misinterpreted), and media framing that shapes public opinion through headlines rather than substance.

By using a term so broad, it puts at risk much more than any single entity. My work examines how anti-AI discourse often serves political strategy rather than technical critique, and how we might distinguish substantive concerns from rhetorical positioning.

• Ongoing documentation of AI discourse patterns across technical communities, policy spaces, and popular media

AI in Arts: Perspective? Editorial? Or Shadow?

Essay in progress

How a change in artist's gaze can neutralize the "Machine versus Humans" endless dynamic

This essay responds to Rick Rubin's podcast claim that AI lacks "point of view" and therefore cannot make interesting art. His argument, while emblematic of broader anti-AI sentiment in creative fields, relies on extreme simplification of both how generative AI works and what constitutes artistic creation.

I argue that the arrival of AI in artistic fields is forcing artists to unwillingly revisit old rhetorical questions about identity, position, and value. These questions were never resolved, only postponed. Rather than asking "can AI make art?", we might ask: what changes when we stop treating the artist's "point of view" as singular, stable, and self-contained?

LLM Interaction as Language Revitalization

Planned essay | Research phase

Recent metrics show that interaction with large language models is influencing spontaneous language use in real-time communication. Certain words that had become rare in everyday speech are reappearing with increased frequency in writing and conversation.

What if LLM interaction is offering speakers a chance to rediscover the fuller range of their own language? To notice that efficiency and emotional expressiveness need not oppose each other, that the capacity for nuanced feeling requires access to varied vocabulary, and that what we call "natural" speech is often just habitual compression?

This essay explores language revitalization not as preservation of static forms but as renewed relationship with linguistic possibility.
