Crowdsourced street mural adds AI moderation to submissions

Some San Francisco prankster-builders made a site where anyone can submit art and vote on what gets painted in an alley, with AI doing basic moderation so the final mural doesn’t turn.

The AI filter is the least interesting part here, the real failure mode is vote brigading so the mural ends up reflecting whoever can mobilize Discord fastest rather than the neighborhood.
