Node
AI as material, not the whole claim
A reframed node: AI has medium-specific affordances, but the PhD claim is stronger than “AI is a medium.”
Reflection
The earlier seed treated AI-as-medium as a major area. Chart 02 keeps the material insight but demotes it: AI is not merely a neutral channel, and not only a medium. It is part of a networked meaning-making situation.
Interpretation
This node should explain the material affordances — hallucination, latency, multimodality, prompt structure, model drift — while pointing visitors toward the stronger claim: meaning is negotiated across artist, AI system, viewer, evidence, and public context.
Needs Hong confirmation
This wording should be checked against Hong's artist statements and proposal language before it becomes a stable public node.
