Misreading as Material
AI collapses ambiguity, invents narrative, and exaggerates pattern. Error reveals bias. Misinterpretation becomes meaning.
Concept
- Four failure modes: narrative drift, spatial confusion, affective mismatch, semantic collapse.
- What the model insists the image 'is' tells you what it was trained to expect.
- The stakes are conceptual: authorship, intention, truth, and evidence.
When the machine gets it wrong, what does the error reveal?
