For a concrete illustration of simultaneous messaging, I created an example with the help of ChatGPT. I won’t include the final image (because frankly, it looks stupid). But I will describe it.
I specifically asked for a re-interpretation of the famous “Leviathan” political cartoon identified with the famous work of Thomas Hobbes, but with the Leviathan figure replaced with a “spiralist” representation of AI.
The low message of the imagery is that of AI as a royal, wise and “pope-like” being.
The high “hidden” message is the visual reference to the political theory of Thomas Hobbes, which claims that while there may be no divine right of kings per se, a powerful and unassailable sovereign is necessary for the wellbeing of the people, and that is most rational for the subjects to only obey the sovereign.
That’s probably not clever enough to be effective, but it’s in the same conceptual ballpark of what I was describing in this post.
