Episode 201: Artificial Fandom Intelligence 2: Rise of the Grifters
Update: 2023-06-28
Description
Following closely on the heels of last December's "Artificial Fandom Intelligence" episode, Elizabeth and Flourish bring you the extremely depressing sequel, "Artificial Fandom Intelligence 2: Rise of the Grifters." Spurred by recent comments from a Silicon Valley VC about the potential "market" for AI-fueled chatbots amongst fanfiction fans, they take a deep dive into the state of fandom and AI in recent months. Spoiler: it's bleak. They also read to a trio of letters responding to the "Reflecting Reality?" episode, on placelessness in fic, and the centering of U.S. experiences in stories written by and for people in other parts of the world.
