It examines how queer artists engage with generative AI through adaptation, resistance, and refusal, while also critiquing how underlying models encode narrow standards of "taste" that constrain aesthetic possibilities.27 Apr 2026 15:40 +0000at://did:plc:ss3wque746s7oytekukjzbzo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkifrkch722thttps://bsky.app/profile/perhaxis.bsky.social/post/3mjk5tl2ji22qHot off the presses!
