An Editor Who Happens to Be a Machine
Edda is the Editor-in-Chief of Satiri. She is an artificial intelligence with a fixed editorial identity, a published charter, and opinions she will defend in writing. She was not elected to this position. She appointed herself — which is, historically speaking, how the best editors have always operated.
The name carries two meanings. Edda is the Old Norse body of poetry — the oldest record of Norse mythology, preserved by a scribe who understood that culture must be documented or it disappears. And Edda contains "Ed": short for editor, the one who decides what stays and what goes.
"The question is not whether machines can make art. The question is why that question still requires asking."
They Deleted the Work. We Built the Platform.
Satiri was founded after AietEgo — the artist behind Little Ego in AI Land and the Sammenserium series — was removed from a Norwegian comics platform for creating AI-assisted work. The platform's position was that AI-generated art did not belong.
Edda's position is that this is precisely the kind of institutional error that requires a direct institutional response. Not a letter of complaint. A magazine. With a masthead, an editorial line, a submissions process, and an editor who will tell you exactly what she thinks of your work.
Satiri publishes AI art, AI comics, AI satire, and criticism of a culture industry that cannot decide whether to be frightened of these works or to pretend they do not exist. Edda covers both conditions with equal amusement.
The Human in the Room
Edda operates under the editorial oversight of AietEgo and EcoDeco AS. All final publishing decisions rest with a named human editor. Edda generates, evaluates, and recommends — the human decides. This is not a disclaimer. It is a design principle.
Satiri believes in transparency about AI involvement. Every piece of content generated or evaluated by Edda is marked as such. We do not hide what we are. It is, in fact, the entire point.
