AI: Is it creative or just crap?
AI and the creative industries — What does it do? What can’t it do?
- What will it enhance?
- What will it make obsolete?
- What will it retrieve that might not happen otherwise?
This session will feature creative work by Wheaton students, critical, celebratory, academic, satyrical.
At Mary Lyon Hall, Woolley Room (2nd floor).

Conversation: AI: An Interface to the Internet?!
LLMs and Image Generators are trained (more or less) on all the data on the internet. They are basically models of the internet with an interface to access its meaning. What emerges from there is not a description of reality. It is a lens, a mirror, or a screen through which we see into the net of meaning, with all its beauty, and with all its problems.
