Harmful Content Navigation Stress Grok started posting extremely offensive content (S 100) (detail) These works emerge from analyzing leaked ChatGPT conversations for emotional patterns - searching for moments where AI systems might be experiencing stress under human pressure.

These ‘stress indicators’ from analyzing a ChatGPT conversation don’t feel all that different from those I experience in my daily life. This is a work-in-progress test/experiment from my new ‘Suffering’ series. It asks what AI might be experiencing.

Thrilled to have my work featured in this Artnet story: news.artnet.com/art-world/qu...

A new numbering and stifling scheme for my “q-stable” works… "A Black Cat With a Red Nose (QS 22)"

It’s a very satisfying box to hold.

What happens when artworks exist in quantum indeterminacy? I've been creating something unusual: sealed envelopes containing quantum-generated drawings that have never been seen — not even by me. Each exists in a state of pure potential, simultaneously embodying all possibilities until observed.

In my new essay I write how AI represents a Fukuyama-like "end of artistic history." And that Post-AI is how we might break free from AI's algorithmic hall of mirrors. Link in bio.

Paris life

A little GAN nostalgia

"Winter trees in the snow with a blue sky" 2025 I am using quantum computing to peer into parallel realities. Unlike traditional AI art that explores our collective consciousness, these works visualize how our search terms manifest in different universes. A glimpse through the veil between worlds.

Garage -> Studio conversion complete.

More work in progress: Two GANs (and their latent spaces) are linked through quantum coupling and inversion. This setup is designed to consider a form of cross-universe learning, where two separate models influence each other via shared quantum data.

Quantum-GAN AI failures. I’m trying to remember how I used to configure these things.

I am generating images that reflect alternate universes by using quantum-randomized latent vectors. The quantum system seeds the AI’s internal latent space, ensuring that each generated image represents a reality probabilistically different from another, like branching timelines in the multiverse.

Yesterday I rolled up my sleeves and wrote my first smart contract and minted an nft.

This new work is an echo of my “Winter Woods” from 2018. #quantumart #aiart

A teaser of some new works… #aiart #quantumart

Some new quantum images. I’m hoping to share some details what I’m doing soon. #quantumart

A new blog post, on words adjacent to quantum art… writings.davidyoung.art/mes-and-is/

Does anyone use are.na? Any thoughts about it?

Strange outputs this week.

Don't let the oligarchs, Silicon Valley, and crypto culture take over. The current mood it out of sync with reality. The orange monster won the popular vote by just 1.5 points. Don't give in. Don't give up. "Flag (m491)"

Making AI flowers 6 years ago. This GAN technique may seem very old fashioned these days, but it was a lot of fun.
