	Paraphrasing historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_Ludens</ref>, one of the first signs of rising fascism is the switch from playfulness to seriousness.

	Secondly, GenAI is called "the new magic", is dressed up as if and deceiving people into this idea with no effort.

I strongly disagree with that, one reason being the paradox and the problems it bears: western history hints that magic is largely tied to oppression, tagged as harmful, negative, unacceptable or foolish (stage magicians, illusionists, etc.); some even might call it a counter-culture. I'd like to dig into that: if magic is to be punished for, how come using GenAI is not? Ultra-capitalists glamorised GenAI through appropriation of a magic jargon for their own interests, that have actually nothing to do with magic. It is therefore important to act: magic relies on observation but demands action. <br>
