It’s a petty thing, given the scale of all that’s going on. But Mark Bauerlein’s op-ed last Friday in the New York Times offering helpful tips for the President on cultural policy—“Trump Wants to Make American Culture Great Again. This Is How He Should Do It”—is more than just a bad argument. Its curious incoherence is emblematic of a movement of cultural conservatives that’s lost the plot.

In 1937, Salvador Dalí conceived of a movie for the Marx Brothers, called Giraffes on Horseback Salad. It was never made, partly because it was too weird and unfilmable in its day, partly because Groucho thought Dalí’s script was not funny. In ages past, we could only dream about what such a film might have been like—but as of this week, thanks to the magic of Google’s A.I.-powered filmmaking tools, we get a look. And it’s bad. I know, I know! There’s so much bad A.I. art.
