What Kyle Chayka actually said

  1. Kyle Chayka Staff writer at The New Yorker
    I think this slop-adjacent realm of dupe products and Instagrammable potions points to our increasingly desperate need to manipulate our own images, and an acceptance of the fact that we're kind of hybridized monsters ourselves in this post-A.I. human-machine moment
