[nonrandomstring]

People search and remember things visually. Even if they're not consciously aware. So on the Cybershow [0] we decided to jump-in and use AI images as a quick way to visually tag episodes with something meaningful and fun.

We did that despite some moral ambivalence/uneasiness around AI "art".

For example, give me a "young and exciting Dana Meadows in front of a board of systems theory"

I'm not awful at photoshopping things, and sometimes that's the only way to get a specific image one has in mind. But it saves time and lets us concentrate on writing and researching instead.

TBH if an artist/illustrator came along and said "Let me do the episode icons even though you can't pay me yet" I'd feel inclined to ask the AI to step aside.
