CFP: AI and Fandom

Unfortunately, this special issue will not be moving forward. All submitted pieces are being considered for our general issue.

Due in part to well-publicised advancements in generative AI technologies such as GPT-4, there has been a recent explosion of interest in – and hype around – Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Whether this hype cycle continues to grow or fades away, AI is anticipated to have significant repercussions for fandom (Lamerichs 2018), and is already inspiring polarised reactions. Fan artists have been candid about using creative AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E to generate fan art, while fanfiction writers have been using ChatGPT to generate stories and share them online (there are 470 works citing the use of these tools on AO3 and 20 on FanFiction.net at the time of writing). It is likely the case that even greater numbers of fans are using such tools discreetly, to the consternation of those for whom this is a disruption of the norms and values of fan production and wider artistic creation (Cain 2023; shealwaysreads 2023). AI technology is being used to dub movies with matching visual mouth movements after filming has been completed (Contreras 2022), to analyse audience responses in real-time (Pringle 2017), to holographically revive deceased performers (Andrews 2022; Contreras 2023), to build chatbots where users can interact with a synthesised version of celebrities and fictional characters (Rosenberg 2023), to synthesise celebrities’ voices (Kang et al. 2022; Nyce 2023), and for translation services for transnational fandoms (Kim 2021).

Despite the multiple ways in which AI is being introduced for practical implementations, the term remains a contested one. Lindley et al (2020) consider “how AI simultaneously refers to the grand vision of creating a machine with human-level general intelligence as well as describing a range of real technologies which are in widespread use today” (2) and suggest that this so called ‘definitional dualism’ can obscure the ubiquity of current implementations while stoking concerns about far-future speculations based on media portrayals. AI is touted as being at least as world-changing as the mass adoption of the internet and, regardless of whether it proves to be such a paradigm shift, the strong emotions it generates make it a productive site of intervention into long-held debates about: relationships between technology and art, what it means to create, what it means to be human, and the legislative and ethical frameworks that seek to determine these relationships.

This special issue seeks to address the rapidly accelerating topic of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning (ML) systems (including, but not limited to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Large Language Models (LLMs), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and speech, image and audio recognition and generation), and their relationship to and implications for fans and fan studies. We are interested in how fans are using AI tools in novel ways as well as how fans feel about the use of these tools. From media production and marketing perspectives we are interested in how AI tools are being used to study fans, and to create new media artefacts that attract fan attention. The use of AI to generate transformative works challenges ideas around creativity, originality and authorship (Clarke 2022; Miller 2019; Ploin et al. 2022), debates that are prevalent in fan studies and beyond. AI-generated transformative works may present challenges to existing legal frameworks, such as copyright, as well as to ethical frameworks and fan gift economy norms. For example, OpenAI scraped large swathes of the internet to train its models – most likely including fan works (Leishman 2022). This is in addition to larger issues with AI, such as the potential discrimination and bias that can arise from the use of ‘normalised’ (exclusionary) training data (Noble 2018). We are also interested in fan engagement with fictional or speculative AI in literature, media and culture.

We welcome contributions from scholars who are familiar with AI technologies as well as from scholars who seek to understand its repercussions for fans, fan works, fan communities and fan studies. We anticipate submissions from those working in disparate disciplines as well as interdisciplinary research that operates across multiple fields.

The following are some suggested topics that submissions might consider:

The use of generative AI by fans to create new forms of transformative work (for example, replicating actors’ voices to ‘read’ podfic)

Fan responses to the development and use of AI including Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT (for example, concerns that AO3 may be part of the data scraped for training models)

Explorations of copyright, ownership and authorship in the age of AI-generated material and transformative works

Studies that examine fandoms centring on speculative AI and androids, (e.g. Her, Isaac Asimov, WestWorld, Star Trek)

Methods for fan studies research that use AI and ML

The use of AI in audience research and content development by media producers and studios

Lessons that scholars of AI and its development can learn from fan studies and vice versa

Ethics of AI in a fan context, for example deepfakes and the spread of misinformation

Thoughts on AI

Opening Remarks

I am by no means the first to share my thoughts on AI, nor will I be the last, I am sure. Yet as I’ve watched this discussion grow, I’ve been trying to pin down my own thoughts and feelings on the matter.

Because they aren’t universally positive, but neither are they universally negative. Rather, I am stuck in this dissociative limbo between wonder, anger, and anxiety. How beautiful and terrible, how marvelous and dreadful this synthetic, eldritch mind we’ve birthed into the world! I have struggled in articulating these feelings both to my (mostly non-artist) friends who are very excited about the possibilities of AI art, and to my (mostly artist) friends who feel threatened, disrespected, and undermined by the way AIs were trained and what they are designed to do.

So I hope to put into words both my thoughts and my observations about AI in this post.

(General disclaimer: I am an artist, writer, and composer, but not someone of any notoriety. I do not make a living off of my creations. I have one self-published book, which I wrote and illustrated, and a bandcamp where I finally started sharing my music earlier this year. Everything surrounding AI hits a little differently for someone like me who is just now trying to break into the art economy and feels like the rug’s been pulled out from under them before even getting their foot in the door.)

AI and Ethics

On the one hand, I am awestruck by the possibility of this technology. How strange and wonderful that we can tell a machine what we want to see, and it has the capacity to create it? Or that we can ask for music in a particular mood or style, and it can synthesize the sound in real time? These machines are astounding, and I don’t want to diminish that fact. To get where we are today required decades of work and effort by engineers, coders, and scientists. That effort is not lost on me.

However, AI is fraught with ethical and humanist concerns, many of which I don’t think were taken into account during its inception. Much of AI is trained from datasets made up from privately owned, stored, or copyrighted data, like medical records (1) and watermarked artwork (2). Some AI companies are explicitly marketing their products as a replacement for the people who used to create those things (3, 4, 5, 6). And while an AI music company like Harmonai kept copyrighted music out of their training datasets (7) — a common quote referenced from this article mentions how “diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting” — the same cannot be said of most image-based AIs that trawl the internet for data, or music AIs that explicitly generate audio in the styles of known musicians (8, 9). The latter applies to deepfakes of people’s voices, as well.

Existing online is not an invitation for exploitation. Posting an image, sharing a video or song, or publishing your writing should not equal implicit consent for an AI to leverage your creative work for profit.

We live in a world now where AI is capable of synthesizing images, music, video, and writing — creative pursuits that were formerly the sole domain of human capability. I think it is important to ask, for what reason did we create AIs that are capable of taking our place in creative professions? Why turn to AI to generate an image or a song instead of turning to a human artist, or developing the skill yourself?

If we approach AI from the position of creating the best possible world for all people, a world in which human beings can flourish, I do not believe that AI, as it currently stands, brings us closer to that ideal. So long as AI is exploitative, it necessarily worsens the lives of those whom it exploits. Existing online is not an invitation for exploitation. Posting an image, sharing a video or song, or publishing your writing should not equal implicit consent for an AI to leverage your creative work for profit. And disregarding the legitimate concerns artists have about their livelihoods, all for the sake of progress, will only serve to harm us, not help us, as collective humanity.

Common Arguments and Questions

There are certain questions and arguments I’ve seen surface with some regularity surrounding AI. There is an excellent video by Steven Zapata which covers a lot of these same arguments, I recommend giving it a watch (10).

How is an AI learning and synthesizing ideas from what it sees any different from a human doing the same? How is the influence of an artist on an AI any different than that same influence on a human?

The reason behind this common misconception is that the data used to train the AI is viewed as a purely visual influence, much in the same way that humans are influenced by the art they consume. But this neglects two factors:

Humans and AI do not process information the same way. Human brains do not work like machines, and machine learning does not follow the same conventions as human thought.

Humans and AI do not improve skill in the same way. While a human requires practice to grow their understanding of theory, composition, form, etc. with regard to their craft, an AI ‘practices’ by consuming more data points to flesh out specific qualities that it can reference when building an image, such as “roundness” or “apple-ness” or “tree-ness.” It can only copy what is has seen.

When one views an AI’s consumption of data as nothing more than how a human learns from visual references, understanding that the art was stolen becomes harder to accept.

But one must remember, the AI is nothing without the data it was fed (11). Being influenced by an image and building your entire neural network on a foundation of data are entirely different things. The comparison between human and AI is a faulty one, because humans and machines are fundamentally different.

Now everyone can make art, everyone can compose music, everyone can write stories. Why don’t you want that?

As someone who does all three, I would argue back that it was always possible for everyone to make art, compose music, and write stories.

What this statement actually means is that AI levels the playing field when it comes to skill and mastery. Now, everyone can ‘make’ art, music, and stories at a near-professional level. (Well, everyone with access to the internet and a computer-like interface, but that gets into an entirely different issue.)

To create is human. Good or bad, simple or complex, we are all wired to make things — stories, art, music — you name it, we make it. You learn and grow through making things, and the more you create, the greater you develop your aesthetic sense and an understanding of the medium.

Perhaps what bothers me is that AI art ignores the process. The point of art is not only the end result, the ‘product’ that you end up with after you’ve finished. The process of generating the art, of discovering it, of honing your skill, this is all just as precious as the art itself. It is not to be tossed away, disregarded, considered passé.

There is so much more to art than what you ‘get’ at the end.

AI artists are real artists because you need an aesthetic sense to know which images are good and which ones are bad.

I do not disagree that aesthetic sense is incredibly useful for curating the images that the AI generates, but I do disagree that aesthetic sense alone makes an artist. Nor do I believe that the skills required to generate images from an algorithm are comparable to the skills of an artist.

...we must inevitably come to the question of whether we place AI-based communication in the same skill category as producing a work of art with your own hands from scratch.

Merriam Webster defines an artist as “a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination” (12).

The point of contention I have here is over what constitutes “conscious skill” and “creative imagination.”

If we take conscious to mean “done or acting with critical awareness” (13) and skill to mean “a learned power of doing something competently: a developed aptitude or ability” (14), then we must inevitably come to the question of whether we place AI-based communication in the same skill category as producing a work of art with your own hands from scratch.

If we take creative to mean “marked by the ability or power to create” (15) and imagination to mean “the act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses or never before wholly perceived in reality” (16), then we must ask if there is the capacity for imagination beyond the prompt itself in the AI image generating process. To call the AI capable of imagination makes the same mistake as in the first argument — an AI is not human. And likewise, the AI cannot generate anything it has not already seen in its training dataset.

To use an AI robs the user of the chance to imagine for themselves how they might represent, say, a cityscape at night, or a chicken wedding. While it is fun to see what the AI generates based on the data it can reference, I believe it is a misstep to then label the user an artist for telling the AI to produce those images.

I am much more comfortable with the term “AI collaborator” than “AI artist,” because, in truth, that more accurately describes what is being done when a user inputs a prompt into an AI and then attempts to guide the AI based on their personal aesthetic sense. This separation of terminology also helps to clarify when an image required years of study and days of work to create vs. when an image required a few words and some careful curation.

As an added note, I think that images generated this way could be useful for artists who want help with ideation. But it is an important step — in my mind at least — for the artist to take what the AI created as inspiration, not as the final product.

AIs aren’t going to replace real artists. It’s just a fun tool that people are using to make silly memes.

AI is already poised to replace artists in many fields, or will likely do so in the near future (17, 18).

...for many artists, it’s the mundane work that pays the bills.

There are AI composers trained on vast libraries of audio that can generate film, video game, or commercial soundtracks (19, 20). There are AI writers that can produce drafts of “SEO-friendly” articles for the web based on article titles (21). There are AI storytellers that are only serviceable as writing assistants at this stage, but at the rate that natural language processing is developing, it isn’t hard to see them creating stories all on their own in the near future (22). The Atlantic has already used Midjourney to provide the illustration for one of their newsletters (23) and an AI art piece has already won first place at an art competition (24).

Now anyone can make music equivalent to that of a professional composer with the click of a button (25). Why pay for the libraries of human-composed soundtracks, or commission a musician to score your indie video game, when an AI could just do it for you for free, and instantaneously (26)?

Now anyone can generate art with a few select key words entered into an image generator (27, 28, 29). You don’t need to pay an artist you like, you can just tell the AI to mimic their work. You don’t even need to ask a more affordable artist to copy their style because the AI can do it for free, and the result is immediate.

When natural language processing catches up with humans, AI will be able to create novels without a human writer, though I don’t see editors ever going away. Publishing houses can keep on their editors, but you don’t need a writer in that equation anymore.

The most optimistic view says that AI will free up artists to do the more fulfilling types of art and avoid the more mundane forms of it. The commercial jingles, the company logos, the ghostwriting for convenience store fiction—those can be done by AI, leaving the art galleries and bestseller lists and symphonies to the human artists. This view neglects that, for many artists, it’s the mundane work that pays the bills. Not every artist can attain an elite position, and the prevalence of AI taking up lower level work makes it even harder to rise to the top for those who do have the requisite skill. (This also neglects that many artists do enjoy that kind of utilitarian work, but that is another issue entirely.)

AI art is the next evolution in art. This is no different than how photography replaced landscape painting, or digital art replaced traditional art, or 3D animation replaced 2D animation, etc.

While this is true to a degree, in that each advancement in technology has shifted the artistic landscape, often relegating old forms of art to a smaller subsection of the art world, I do not think the comparison holds up under scrutiny.

In each of the above instances, the creative force was still with the artist, not with the tool. With AI, you can tell the AI what you want to see, but ultimately you have very little control over what image is produced.

Photographers can stage their shots, alter the lighting, introduce set pieces or props, and so on. They can choose the locations where they shoot, and make use of several different tools both during and after the shoot to alter the images.

3D animators build the models they use and often paint over the digital landscape they’ve built. Lighting, color, sound design, object interaction physics, and so on, all influence the final product. You are still building the images, frame by frame, and you have much more control of the final product.

I think there is an argument to be made for using image manipulation with AI-generated images. Transformative works are an important part of the art ecosystem. But, in the same way that a photograph of a painting is not considered a replacement or an evolution of the art form, I do not believe that an AI-generated image built on the works of un-credited, unpaid artists can be called an evolution of art. It is a tool, not an art form unto itself.

Blue Sky Thinking

I am hopeful that there can be a place for AI in the art world. Not as a replacement for the artists (30), but as a tool which enables people to expand their imaginations and develop their skill.

However, I do not think there is any way forward without first making sure that:

Artists have the power to choose whether an AI gets trained on their images.

Those who do choose to include their art in the dataset are fairly compensated for their contributions.

We have legislation in place which protects artists from frauds who would pass off AI forgeries as belonging to those artists.

Companies must use a specific ratio of human-made art to AI art, one which favors the human artists, to protect the livelihoods of those artists and keeps open the paths to career advancement.

The above list is likely not exhaustive, and I imagine even more needs will arise the longer that AIs exist.

But there are many applications of AI that I could imagine benefiting artists. In this section, I am imagining how a fully developed AI that is not plagued by the problems of its infancy could be used.

Imagine using AI to determine where the anatomy is off on your figure drawing. An AI that has been trained exclusively on how multiple types of bodies look in 3D space could potentially compare your drawing against thousands of examples and highlight where the elbow might be in the wrong position, or the foreshortening on the foot isn’t quite right. The AI could help train the artist’s eye to better see where they need to grow.

Or in an animation studio, where uniformity of style is important for a consistent-looking film or series, an AI that has been trained on character models and short animation reels, along with all previous episodes of the show, could help identify where artists are running into specific problems with replicating the characters. This could help animators grow in their understanding of how to identify where they tend to go off-model.

Or for an illustrator stuck in a rut on how to design a character. Putting in a few descriptors from the book they are illustrating could help with the ideation process before they set down the final character designs. Many illustrators already use reference material to help spark their imaginations. With an AI, finding the examples you need becomes that much quicker.

For a digital artist who is very prolific and in high demand, having an AI collaborator that helps them with the more tedious parts of the drawing, parts which require very little skill, such as laying down flat colors or copying a repeating pattern across a canvas, could be done by the AI to speed up their production time.

For a video game designer, having an AI that can turn hand-drawn assets into usable objects for a game could be very useful. Imagine an AI that can bridge the gap between human-made images and the integrated video game world, knowing already how to apply real-world physics to the objects because it understands “bowl-ness” and “weight.”

And for hobbyists who just like to play around with an AI image generator, it could be another source of income for artists who choose to design art for those image generators. Just like artists build the character options for a character building engine in a video game. AI image generators as they function now, I think, are best if considered as video games.

And if I think about music, it does seem as though AI models for music may already be trending in a hopeful direction. Imagine using AI to generate sound samples for electronic or experimental music. Or letting AI help you come up with that missing lyric that you just can’t think of. Maybe you want to create a your own set of unique midi instruments. You could use an AI to create the sound you’re looking for and then turn it into an instrument by adjusting the tone. You could use this new instrument in your DAW, or integrate it with notation software. Maybe even turn that sound into a synth that you can pull up on a keyboard and play at a concert.

There are many possibilities, and not all roads lead to exploitation.

Closing Remarks

I want to believe that this technology does not mean that work which would otherwise have been given to writers, musicians, and artists will instead be given to AI. I want to believe that rather, this technology will enable people who otherwise would never have been able to afford writers, artists, and musicians to have access to good writing, beautiful music, and astounding art. I want to believe that when those people come to a place where they can afford to hire creative people, they would choose that over AI. That AI would be a stepping stone. Much like with composers using virtual instruments for their music, or novelists using royalty-free images for their self-published novels, the specificity of human performance and creation is preferred, but out of reach.

Ultimately, I think the feeling I have is one of futility rather than hope. What was it all for? Why spend years of my life honing my skills as a pianist, a composer, an illustrator, and a writer? What was the point of sinking thousands of dollars into a degree in music composition? Or the years of lessons on music theory? The hours spent researching storytelling models? The closet full of sketchbooks and classes in figure drawing, painting, art history, and design? What purpose does all that training serve now?

But then, who am I to complain? I can’t afford to hire musicians to play my music, so I use virtual instruments instead or record in my bedroom on the few instruments I know how to play. I can’t afford to hire cover artists for my albums, so I do my best to design them myself. Is it not the same for any small content creator? How is leveraging the royalty free stock images available online any different from clicking a button to generate an image from an AI?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, and I think it will take time for us all to work them out, together.

AI has potential for good, but it also has a lot of potential for harm. And I don’t see us avoiding the harm (to not even speak of the harm that has already been done) without serious intervention. The future is up to us.

I am still learning about this topic, and will probably continue to learn as the situation changes. I’ve linked throughout this post the resources that I referenced during my research. I hope that this post will also help others process their thoughts and feelings on AI, and maybe even find some of the resources useful, too.

Unpacking the Complexities of AI-Generated Pornography: Navigating the Risks and Rewards.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world we live in. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI is transforming industries and changing the way we interact with technology. However, one area where AI has had a particularly significant impact is the adult entertainment industry.The proliferation of online pornography has been one of the most significant cultural shifts of the 21st century. According to one estimate, online pornography generates $97 billion in revenue each year, making it one of the most profitable industries on the internet. The use of AI in the production and distribution of pornography has only accelerated this trend.One of the most significant ways AI is changing the pornography industry is by enabling the creation of hyper-realistic, computer-generated images and videos of sexual content. These images and videos, known as deepfakes, are created by using machine learning algorithms to superimpose the faces of real people onto the bodies of pornographic actors.While deepfakes can be used to create non-pornographic content, they have become particularly popular in the adult entertainment industry because they allow performers to remain anonymous while still creating content that appears to feature real people. This has led to a proliferation of deepfake pornography that can be accessed easily and anonymously on the internet.The impact of AI-generated pornography on society is complex and multifaceted. On the one hand, some argue that deepfakes and other AI-generated pornographic content could be used to reduce demand for prostitution and other forms of sex work. By providing consumers with a safer, more anonymous way to access sexual content, AI-generated pornography could potentially reduce the demand for illegal and exploitative forms of sexual entertainment.However, others worry that the proliferation of deepfake pornography could have negative effects on society, particularly in terms of gender relations and sexual violence. Critics argue that deepfake pornography reinforces harmful gender stereotypes and promotes unrealistic and unhealthy attitudes toward sex and relationships.Furthermore, the use of deepfake pornography could also lead to a rise in sexual harassment and assault. By creating images and videos that appear to feature real people, AI-generated pornography blurs the line between fantasy and reality, potentially leading some consumers to believe that they have a right to engage in non-consensual sexual acts.To address these concerns, some have called for increased regulation of the adult entertainment industry, including the use of AI-generated pornography. This could include requirements for performers to consent to the use of their images and increased penalties for those who create and distribute non-consensual deepfake pornography.In conclusion, the use of AI in the adult entertainment industry is a complex and rapidly evolving issue that raises significant concerns about the impact of technology on society. While deepfake pornography has the potential to reduce demand for illegal and exploitative forms of sexual entertainment, it also has the potential to reinforce harmful gender stereotypes and promote unhealthy attitudes toward sex and relationships. As AI continues to transform the world we live in, it is essential that we consider the ethical and social implications of its use in the adult entertainment industry and beyond.

Exploring the Ethical Quandaries of AI: Undress AI Remove Clothes

In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), the line between innovation and ethical considerations is often blurred. The latest controversy to emerge is the advent of AI-powered tools designed to "undress" individuals in digital images, essentially stripping them of their clothing with a few clicks. This technology, often marketed under various names like "Remove Clothes" or "Cloth Remover," utilizes deep learning algorithms to generate realistic nude images from clothed pictures. While proponents tout its potential applications in various fields, including fashion design and entertainment, critics raise serious concerns regarding privacy, consent, and the exacerbation of societal issues. Undress AI Remove Clothes

At its core, undressing AI operates on the principles of generative adversarial networks (GANs), a subset of machine learning where two neural networks, the generator and the discriminator, compete against each other. The generator creates synthetic images, while the discriminator distinguishes between real and fake ones. Through iterative training, the generator learns to produce increasingly convincing images, including those of unclothed individuals, by understanding patterns and features in vast datasets of clothed and nude images.

Proponents argue that undress AI technology has legitimate applications, such as aiding fashion designers in envisioning how garments will fit and drape on the human body without the need for physical prototypes. Additionally, it could be utilized in virtual try-on services, allowing consumers to visualize clothing items before making a purchase. In the entertainment industry, it may streamline the creation of digital characters and animations, reducing production costs and enhancing realism.

However, the ethical implications of undressing AI are profound and multifaceted. One of the foremost concerns is the potential for misuse and exploitation. With the proliferation of deepfake technology, there's a real risk that malicious actors could weaponize undress AI to create non-consensual pornographic material or to harass individuals by manipulating their images without their consent. This raises serious issues related to privacy, consent, and the psychological well-being of those targeted.

Moreover, the deployment of undressing AI exacerbates existing societal issues, particularly those related to body image and objectification. By reducing individuals to mere bodies, stripped of context and agency, this technology perpetuates harmful stereotypes and reinforces unrealistic beauty standards. It not only undermines the dignity and autonomy of the individuals depicted but also contributes to a culture of commodification and exploitation.

From a legal standpoint, the use of undress AI raises complex questions about intellectual property rights, privacy laws, and the boundaries of digital manipulation. While some jurisdictions have begun to introduce legislation specifically targeting deepfake technology and non-consensual image sharing, enforcement remains challenging, particularly in the context of rapidly evolving AI capabilities.

Addressing the ethical challenges posed by undress AI requires a multifaceted approach involving technological, legal, and societal interventions. Technological solutions, such as watermarking and digital signatures embedded within images, could help verify authenticity and prevent unauthorized manipulation. Enhanced education and awareness campaigns are essential to inform the public about the risks associated with AI-generated content and the importance of consent and digital literacy.

Furthermore, policymakers must engage in proactive regulation to ensure that the development and deployment of AI technologies prioritize ethical considerations and respect fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes robust data protection laws, stringent enforcement mechanisms, and clear guidelines for the responsible use of AI in sensitive contexts. Undress AI Remove Clothes

Ultimately, the rise of undressing AI underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive ethical framework to govern the development and deployment of AI technologies. While innovation holds the promise of transformative benefits, it must not come at the expense of fundamental human rights and dignity.

The world is a scary place, Señorita!

In a world where popular faces often serve as masks, concealing the unsettling truths beneath, recent revelations, such as the Epstein List coming to light, force us to confront the darker aspects of society. The exposure of big names associated with malicious deeds unveils a chilling reality – a reality that extends beyond scandalous headlines to the profound trauma endured by innocent children, both mentally and physically.

The term “human trafficking” is frequently heard, but the shocking realization that leaders and lawmakers might be complicit in protecting those who engage in assault and offensive acts against vulnerable individuals adds another layer of disquiet. As global conflicts, like the ongoing Ukraine-Russia, Gaza-Israel, and Suez conflicts persist, it becomes evident that beneath the geopolitical struggles, the arms and ammunition sector thrives, often at the expense of innocent lives.

The question arises – who is truly responsible for the perpetuation of corruption, violence, and various forms of inhumane behavior? The answer points towards a complex network of individuals in positions of power, acting in the interest of lobbies that prioritize their own gains over the well-being of humanity.

The future seems daunting, with the prospect of individuals exploiting systems for personal gain persisting. The allure of wealth blinds some to the ethical implications of their actions, leading to the ruthless exploitation of others. While possessing vast amounts of money may seem like success, the toll it takes on the human soul, burdened with sins, raises a crucial question: is such wealth worth the cost of one’s morality?

Amidst ongoing conflicts and global crises, the need for a deeper examination of the leadership we support becomes paramount. The harsh reality remains – Life is random and the world is a scary place.

In the vast expanse of the universe, Earth may appear as a mere dot, insignificant in the grand design of cosmos. Yet, paradoxically, the actions and exploitations orchestrated by those in power on this seemingly tiny dot have repercussions far beyond its celestial stature. The creation of artificial conflicts for the promotion of arms and ammunition turns our planet into a pivotal point of concern, overshadowing the cosmic insignificance of our existence.

While the idea of extraterrestrial life might seem like a distant concept, the real challenge lies in addressing the immediate issues at hand. The manipulation of conflicts for personal gain raises questions about the sustainability of our world. The illusionary nature of amassed wealth and the safeguarding of images and secrets paint a grim picture, where the actions of a few wield enormous influence over the destiny of the many.

Amidst this cosmic insignificance, one undeniable truth remains – nothing and no one on this planet is immortal. Not the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth, and certainly not the leaders in prime positions today. This acknowledgment should prompt reflection on the legacy we leave behind. The current actions and inactions of those in power become the blueprint for the world we bequeath to future generations.

The call for a "better world for future generations" is not just a cliché but a profound responsibility. It requires transcending selfishness, overcoming violence, and dispelling negativity from our daily lives. The hope is that, like the dinosaurs that faded into extinction, the negative aspects of our existence can also vanish. Let us pray for a world that is ever-evolving towards compassion, understanding, and a commitment to ensuring the well-being of future generations. In the face of the vast cosmos, our collective actions on this tiny dot can shape a legacy that transcends the limits of our celestial insignificance.

It is important to give a second thought to an old saying- “all that glitters is not gold.”

It is upto each of us- whether to become a dot that lies beneath the question or the dot that marks the continuity of our existence!
