Smooth Online Brain ft. Rory Blank
Comics artist and cartoonist Rory Blank joins us on this weeks free episode as we ask: What is an AI image, exactly?
Rory and Hussein discuss why the "All Eyes On Rafah" instagram post became the first 'viral' AI image, despite its inconsistencies, inaccuracies and lack of specificity. Rory explains how these features characterise the AI 'art' taking over the internet, why its proliferation is so difficult to regulate, and why we shouldn't see these images as creative outputs, but rather, a way to understand the confusion and detachment that comes with being on the internet today.
