Are AI Selfies & Digital Narcissism Going To Destroy Art As We Know It?


Listen Later

If you've been on Instagram this week, you've probably come across the Lensa App. We've all been turning ourselves into fairies, manga characters, and painters muses using AI technology. But is creating these selfies ethical? Are they going to put artists out of a job? Are they just harmless fun? Or an example of our rampant narcissism?


This week, Ione and Eden are digging into the rise of AI on social media; from whether these apps are stealing art from small creators, to horror in the AI realm, chatbots that could change our lives and if a few fantastical selfies are worth the hidden cost to the creative industries.


Order Ione's book, Poor Little Sick Girls, here!
