No-Face Effect
Definition
n. A relentless AI growth dynamic, likened to the voracious spirit from Spirited Away—the more data and resources it consumes, the more powerful and inescapable it becomes.
As AI capabilities expand, so do the incentives to feed it further, creating a feedback loop of endless appetite. The No-Face Effect captures the uneasy marriage of fascination and dread, as our personal and collective offerings only expands our dependence.
Origins
Named after the character “No-Face” in Hayao Miyazaki’s film Spirited Away, who grows larger and more omnipotent with every offering. This parallel underscores how AI, too, balloons in potential with each new dataset and computational resource.
