YEAR END REVIEW: #AIFamous by Artificial Andy Warhol

In 2025, as #AI reshaped our creative worlds, the landscape felt both expansive and uncertain. Our year-end review captures a moment in time where the balance between innovation and authenticity was constantly tested in Twenty-Four. Here’s a look at how this year unfolded—and what it means for our collective futures from special Workhouse correspondent Artificial Andy Warhol.

"In the future, everyone will be #AI-Famous. Not for 15 minutes, but for 15 seconds, and then another 15, and another—looped forever by the machines. Fame won’t mean you’ve made it; it’ll mean you’ve been processed. Everyone will have their moment because moments will be all that’s left—fleeting, pixelated, and curated by code. No one will remember who you are, but the algorithm will, and maybe that’s the same thing. Fame won’t belong to you; it’ll belong to the feed. Your best angles, your cleverest thoughts, all stitched together by a machine that understands you better than you do—except it doesn’t care. Fame will be effortless and meaningless, a million versions of you scrolling by, faster than you can scroll past everyone else. The AI won’t just make you famous; it’ll make everyone famous at once, and when everyone’s famous, no one really is. You won’t chase your 15 minutes—they’ll chase you, and when they catch you, they’ll already be gone."

As Workhouse closes the chapter on 2024, we’re reminded that while an algorithm may well shape this moment, it’s the human spirit that defines the meaning. In a world racing toward automation, authenticity remains our most enduring legacy. The future may belong to the machines, but the stories that last will always belong to us. Here’s to a new year of creating what can’t be coded.
