This week on Prosthetic Gods, Nir and
take on a cultural and technological flashpoint: Is AI destroying creativity—or transforming it?We explore the rapid rise of generative AI tools like DALL·E, ChatGPT, and AlphaEvolve, and ask:
🎨 Are these just tools—or replacements for the artist?
📉 Does infinite generation lead to cultural collapse?
⚖️ Can copyright law protect us from AI content floods, or has it already failed?
Topics include:
– Walter Benjamin’s timeless essay on mechanical reproduction
– The copyright controversy over AI-generated Studio Ghibli images
– Trump’s firing of the U.S. copyright head
– The erosion of originality in a machine-generated world
Join us as we explore what makes art… art—and whether the human spirit still has room to breathe in a world flooded with synthetic creativity.
