In this episode you’ll hear from the artist Molly Crabapple who was on Debates in AI first panel, “What’s Work Got to Do With It?” Molly’s written and illustrated for the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Vanity Fair, and so many more. Last year, she told us about the time she took a whirl on the text to image generator Dall-e. She typed in: Syrian city destroyed by war drawn by Molly Crabapple. And all of a sudden drawings popped up that looked like half-baked versions of her work.
Seeing these images prompted a cascade of protests. She wrote an op-ed in the LA Times calling AI "vampirized technology," and a letter with the Center for Artistic Inquiry and Reporting calling for newsrooms to restrict AI illustration so that illustrators and graphic designers wouldn’t find themselves without a job. What this tech means to her, her work and her future is why she spoke at RISD’s Debates in AI.
