There is an intriguing correlation between technology, machines, and artificial intelligence, and the tentacles, oceanic abyss, and black goo of popular culture, etc. Now that octopuses are considered sentient in countries around the world and found in some capacity in virtually all forms of entertainment, it seems that their black ink and tentacles (also of the squid) likely symbolize interconnected computer networks and possessive forces working through the black mirror screens of our devices.

In 2021, Elon Musk suggested that a brain parasite is possibly forcing Man to create artificial intelligence. Now the two are working together, as a human being for the first time teamed up with an artificial intelligence image generator to create a comic book series called the ‘Abolition of Man’, set to be released in 2022. The name of the comic is also that of a C.S. Lewis story about man’s power over nature and the value of objectivity and natural law, wherein he argues that emotion should conform to reason in science.

Carson Grubaugh, who co-created the AI comic, went on to say that we need this technology because all man can seem to do is substitute rich creative gold of the past with “recycled lead of the present.” However, it only seems this way because our entertainment is filled with the same imagery everywhere we look, especially darker imagery of the unconquered sub-conscious. Humans are either being forced, influenced, or choosing, not to express their creativity and instead of making Faustian deals with cosmic forces for cheap rewards. A UK astronomer, Lord Martin Rees, also suggested in 2022 -robots have already replaced aliens from other worlds and are looking to target humans next.

This is an idea that seems far advanced already with mankind being promised "all the kingdoms of the world" by technology on the "very high mountain" of madness; that we could have everlasting life physically, be directly connected with each other, and obtain vast creative powers through deepfake, deep voice, text to image AI, etc. However, such promises are a distortion, desecration, and destruction of nature - an abolition of man - since mankind already possesses spiritual immortality, emotional connections with other humans, and nature, and immense creative powers.
