In ancient Nippur people drew pictures of the demons besetting them in the bottom of clay bowls and wrote the name of the specific demon around the rim with incantations (often in Aramaic) to make it go away. The demons are drawn in a childlike way, to our eyes at least. The bowls are buried upside down under the floors of their houses (to trap the demon?). It occurred to me we do the same thing here in eNowhereland. Except we draw crude selfies and bury ourselves under the bowl.

And now AI demons write the incantations.

Text, Context, and the Social Dimension of Writing: A Case Study from the Early Dynastic Inanna Temple at Nippur

In this article, I propose a holistic interpreta- tion of a well-defined corpus of third millennium BC in- scribed artefacts, focusing on the relationships between text (format and content), the artefact, and its original destination and deposition.
