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.

> A trio of tech pranksters have launched a website where you can submit artwork and vote on which pieces belong in the final design. Of course, AI will scan for dick pics.

Here’s the alley project turning public art submissions into a very online San Francisco experiment.

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.
