My tribute to @CozomoMedici. Initially, I planned to come up with a witty phrase that could replace the title “Medici Minutes”. In the end, I settled on “Buy My Art”. However, AI turned out to be not particularly good at generating text, and on top of that, it blocked my original source because the statue looked significantly more explicit in the initial version. Because of this, I had to completely change the concept and turn the problem itself into part of the humor. That’s how a new meme was born — directly out of a failed AI video generation. Now the statue has a more noble appearance and, while watching the faceless character trying to shift his attention to another program, responds with a facepalm. In the end, the generation error became part of the artwork itself and, in a way, shaped its final concept. Sometimes the error is the art. by Terri Moon February, 2026
