The Revolution Will Not Be Ghiblified ft. Gareth Watkins


Listen Later

Writer and podcaster Gareth Watkins comes on the show today to talk about his essay, 'AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism'.

We talk about the shifts in what we is considered to be the 'aesthetic' of AI, why so many on the right, including those obsessed with 'classical' beauty, seem to love using it, and  what it tells us about the way political messages are distributed and received.

Gareth also explains that the best way to challenge those using and promoting AI images over those produced by human artists, may not be an appeal to environmental protection, but rather, to keep telling people the images look horrible until they stop.
