Like the Truman Show movie, this oil painting is a footnote to Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Can this vulnerable human infant transcend her mirky, AI-driven predicament, and eventually learn to think for herself? And what can we say about that fragile old man, seemingly at the end of his life, at the opening of the cave where the light gets in?
