Terminator, escape the machine

The Terminator is made of Del, Esc and F1 (Help) buttons to symbolize human yearning for sovereignty in the face of AI proliferation. Alignment problem is a real threat. It’s a persistent challenge to find the equilibrium between technological progress and humanity, where we reap the benefits of machines, but don’t become enslaved by them.

This work is a part of my Blending Worlds Collection, which explores the ever thinning line between the material and digital worlds we live in. From hunter-gatherers to agricultural and industrial revolutions, to software eating the world, and now with the NFT revolution, the definition of 'real' is questioned every day. Is the virtual any less real than the physical? Are we already living in a metaverse? The writing is on the wall if you care to decipher it.
