nonhuman systems in training are Machine Learning (ML), the more correct term for the ways in which they/we are refining image-production algorithms. AI Art ambiguity is specific to our era rn, in this development phase of nonhuman systems.

by which i mean that we have these specific opportunities in AI Glitch Art (image production) rn bc of the ways in which nonhuman systems are attempting/making/producing imgs.

to go a bit furtherr, i feel that these current AI Glitch Art opportunities are prolly going to expire and become more difficult to capture/create in near futures as resolutions scale.
of course, folks will try/build systems to create the look/feel of time-specific AI/ML models ie a ‘June 2022 MJ’ @midjourney aesthetic etc, however, their attempts will be bound by computing, by codesources that are {open|closed}, [blackboxed/proprietary], +/or [shared/sold].
