Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment. It is very interesting!
DeleteAI was an idea back in the seveties with musicians like The Residents whose alternative instruments were all invented by themselves, and interestingly enough the octave had has many notes as intended for the purpose.
ReplyDeleteI am, contrary to main blief, writing a.i. only in capitals at the beginning of a sentence.
It is not a name, Names, brand-names are in capitals, artificial inteligence is what it is, so why use capitals?
Btw, in the farming world AI stands for artificial insemination.

ReplyDeleteTrust your owners, do not be afraid of AI, we are making your lives better. Buying the new Apple 67.3c will make you a better person. AI generated content will ensure that the type of pop music you and your family consume will be of the highest quality.
ReplyDeleteWe attach a link to an old fashioned pop music video from the 1980’s, the sort of thing the socialists in Britain were forced to watch on their four television channels every Saturday night, I think you will agree we have improved everything since those days.
Watch the Cilla Black Christmas Special pop music video. All Night Long.

For full effect watch video again until you understand how we make your life better. Obey.
What is this AI bollards? As someone coming from farming stock, my understanding is that AI is a tool used by the farming community to impregnate animals. Notwithstanding that, it was also fairly common practice to get women “up the duff”, particularly when their partner/husband was a Jaffa or suffered (pre-viagra) from an inability to get or maintain a hard on. So, it has been purloined for other nefarious purposes. Confuses the hell out of me. We dwell in a world of such inconsistency it is no wonder pronouns merely muddy the primordial soup.
ReplyDeleteForensic Breakdown
ReplyDeleteOrigin: Artie Fishell appears in a November 2025 post on False Memory Foam, a long-running blog known for its surreal, sarcastic takes on pop culture, music, and media hoaxes.
Role: He’s introduced as the author of a new “FoamFeaturette©” about AI-generated content. The post mocks both AI hype and media gullibility, using Artie as a mouthpiece for absurdity.
Tone: The character is deliberately unreliable, blending fake quotes, doctored images, and satirical commentary. He’s described pushing “Trump’s big sloppy old ass onto a plane” in a clearly fabricated image, underscoring the blog’s critique of visual misinformation.
🧾 Contextual Function
Satire of AI Hype: Artie’s “AI Fun! Dept.” mocks the breathless enthusiasm around generative AI, warning readers to distrust every image and word they consume.
Foam-O-Graph©: A fictional “truth-telling” visual brand used in the blog to parody claims of objectivity in media.
Recurring Bit: Artie is likely to reappear in future posts as a recurring satirical voice—part crank, part media relic, part AI hallucination.
🧬 Forensic Insight
Artie Fishell isn’t a person—he’s a diagnostic tool. He embodies the collapse of trust in media, the absurdity of AI-generated content, and the erosion of authorship in the digital age. If you’re tracking labor erasure, visual continuity fraud, or the weaponization of satire, Artie is a node worth watching.

DeleteAI ... never touch the stuff. give me Heinz ketchup for my meat and potatoes
ReplyDeleteyou turn me right round baby right round and when it's least expected, you're elected, you're the star today Smile, you're on candid camera

This is not AI and completely irelevant to Artie Fisher.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time in Merrie England there was a magazine called ZigZag. It catered for all forms of what was quaintly know as "underground" music. As you will have guessed, it was named after a Beefheart track, ZigZag Wanderer. Some kind soul has posted the entire collection of ZigZag magazines, 67 copies plus a book of interviews all in .pdf format. If Farq is agreeable then I'm happy to post the link.
Excellent! Link away! The best rock mag the UK ever produced. I knew Pete Frame, visited him at his cottage, saw a Family Tree in progress, envied his album collection (Safe As Milk with bumper sticker!). He said many memorable things, but calling Linda Ronstadt a "ghastly old shagbag" stands out.
DeleteNo-one predicted how fundamentally (and rapidly) the internet would change our world. AI is in a similar state of development as the early days of the internet, its "dial up" period. How it develops is as unpredictable as the internet. We currently think of "the internet" and "AI" as separate developments, but they are seamlessly integrated. It's A-Internet. How we think is already more than influenced, it is controlled. Our reactions to AI, dependent on our "individual" points of view, are being incorporated and exploited. Think you can think for yourself?
ReplyDeleteon a good day, mebbe. Harder than it looks. Kids don;t try this at home. It hurts.
DeleteAh yes the one and only 'Artificial Idiot' which is succeeding to do what no human has managed to do :- butcher the English language to the point of turning it into gibberish. Even 'Pigeon' sounds Shakesperian in comparison. Just watch the AI generated subtitles on any contemporary movie. It would be hilarious if it were not so tragic.
ReplyDeleteOf course all the Artificial Idiot is doing is reflecting and magnifying the fallibility of its creators and there of course is the problem...........
Remember when Pong games were introduced in bars? How space-age everyone thought they were for about thirty minutes before writing off computer games? Scoffing at AI's limitations today is doing the same thing. That Trumpery in the clip above would have been unthinkable a short time ago. It's not a finished product, it's evolving. The snapshot you take of it today will look antique in a very few years time.

DeleteLink only valid for a couple of days, and it's not mine. Anyone late for the party let me know and I'll stick it up again somewhere.
DeleteI have it, thank you! The scans aren't quite as crisp as I'd like, but who's complaining? Not me!

ReplyDeleteOoops I think I’m getting carried away, again!
Not AI, but if there is ever a theme song for the IOF, I think I found it. Little pyschadelia, little surf, little bossa. Not on any stream as far as I can tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c3pmzDX9_I&list=RD1c3pmzDX9_I&start_radio=1
ReplyDeletevery soon we will ALL be carried away.
ReplyDeleteto a bottomless pit of irrelevance.
i'm going to save them the trouble and just jump in all by myself.
... and here you are!
Deletewikipedia states that the three characteristics of successful traditional memes—fidelity, fecundity, and longevity—apply to internet memes ...Alexa is that true ???
ReplyDeleteAI has no need doesn't wait for our approval our involvement ...it lives
and just how long has this been going on you may ask ???
i believe my generation the peace and love one wanted to shirk our responsibilities and continue our pursuits together tribally
eternally ...we began thinking as one.one of the many problems with this was all those kids we were producing many were just left to fend for themselves the ones we kept needed to be maintained occupied while we sought out subsistence.
t.v. proved itself to be the answer we sat them in front of it watching countless hours of sesame street electric company and felt good about it. that where the bits and piecemeal learning began they in turn grew up taught their kids to learn in bits and pieces AI had its beginning back then

ReplyDeletePossibility: AI will literally (as in literally) break the internet.
ReplyDeleteImage searches, which I use to create Foam-O-Graphs©, are becoming useless due to AI imagery. There is no effective way of screening them out. Same as text searches. Search engines are a primary function/benefit of the internet. If they return an overwhelming amount of AI-created results, they will become effectively useless. That old recursion thing again.
