Abstract
What Do Pictures Want?The Lives and Loves of Images is still relevant today as we live in an age where images are ubiquitous and play an increasingly important role in our lives.The ideas of the book have influenced fields such as visual studies, art history, media studies, and cultural studies, and have been influential in shaping our understanding of the role of images in contemporary culture.It offers a compelling and thought-provoking examination of the relationship between images and viewers, and of how images influence our perception of the world around us.Mitchell's work continues to inspire new research and reflection on the power of images and their relationship to the human experience.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
