Elena Burger har identifierat en stil, kanske till och med en konstnärlig rörelse, och ger många fina exempel som man nu kan börja samla på - paperclip-punk1. Så här känns den igen:

Here are a couple of visual tenets of paperclip-punk: light, bright website (no darkmode), clean exploded-view diagrams, interactive graphs, minimalist animation, font derivatives from the Satoshi, Inter, Söhne, Berkeley Mono, or JetBrains Mono families, industrial blue-print-y colors (#0050FF HEX blues, #F38020 HEX oranges), integrated real-time data and interface-level responsiveness, infinite on-hover tooltips, developer “playgrounds” or “sandboxes”, and a rejection of passivity: the process of interacting with the visuals teaches you about their underlying meaning.

Dess etik:

The ethos of paperclip-punk is the following: we can prod machines into self-awareness, simply by making their interfaces responsive to humans. In other words, paperclip-punk visually encapsulates a future where every single static surface is animated by digital introspection.

1 "To write 'Paperclip-Punk' in uppercase letters would be to invite speculation that o3 conceived of the entire thing, perhaps along with other made-up phrases for plausible art movements held aloft, flying buttress-like in a schema table. No prompt brought paperclip-punk into existence. In fact the opposite is the case: the attitudes of the paperclip-punk brought the act of prompting and AI itself into existence."
