episode TWENTY-THREE: 3 Artists w/ Shiny Object Syndrome vs. the World of GenAI

Somehow, Overthinkers Anonymous Returned...

✨✨✨

In this mid journey, rogue overthinkers Blueberry Moonbeam, Strawberry Sunshine, and Darth Serious scrape the iceberg of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), what should (and shouldn't) be considered art. Plus, anything and everything artists in the digital age (should) overthink about.

✨

Broad strokes:

• grilling Chat-GPT about the definition of art and whether AI-generated art can be considered "art"
• originality, sampling and referencing: is everything just a remix of what came before?
• is the career path of an artist still met with the same stigma and skepticism as before?
• influence and inspiration: how Dune influenced Star Wars (not vice-versa)
• "Theoretical Psychics Art Services" — Sunshine and Serious's arts studio/enterprise fostering human-centered artistic mentorship & collaboration—as well as facilitating access to networking and job opportunities for artists in the Philippines
