Warning: The new AI art exhibit in Denver is kind of a mess

I checked out that 'Digital Dreams' AI art show at the Denver Art Museum last weekend, and honestly, it was frustrating. They had these big screens showing images made by AI, but half the time the screens were frozen or glitching out. One piece was supposed to change based on crowd noise, but it just showed the same weird, blurry face for the whole 20 minutes I was there. It felt like they spent more on the fancy projectors than on making the AI actually work right. The whole point is to show what the tech can do, but if it's broken, what's the point? It just makes the whole field look half-baked to regular people. Has anyone else seen an AI art display that actually ran smoothly?

Ugh, I saw the same glitchy mess in Seattle, total waste of time.

Pulled my buddy Mike into that same exhibit and he stood in front of a screen waiting for it to "generate" for a solid five minutes before realizing it was just a frozen slideshow. He tried to ask one of the volunteers about it and the kid just shrugged and said "the AI needs a nap" like that was supposed to be funny. Mike walked out saying he'd seen better animation on his grandma's weather app.

Did the museum staff seem to care about the tech problems, or did they just shrug it off?
