Art and Artificial Intelligence

from Fireflies · host Anushree Das

In this episode I explore the uneasy intersection of art and artificial intelligence. From the cute Ghibli trend to the unsettling ways AI alters bodies, ethics and meaning, this is a reflection on how machines are beginning to shape human creativity. What happens when our personal memories, our images, our voices and our artistic fingerprints become raw material for a machine? AI is not just disrupting art, it is quietly colonising human expression by training us to depend on machines for our own creativity.  Is AI expanding our imagination or slowly replacing our capacity to express? And if art has always been resistance, what happens when we hand the act of creation to algorithms? Send us Fan Mail

Sparks A difference makers podcast by John Michael Sparks, my friends, are those glimmers of inspiration that dance upon the edges of our minds. They are the thoughts and ideas that flutter around the realm of faith, neuroscience and marketplace leadership like fireflies on a summer night. Not yet fully formed, not fully explored, but brimming with potential. differencemakers.substack.com Nighttime on Still Waters Richard Goode A narrowboat-based audio journal on canal life, living aboard, the elements, and the night. Perfect late-night listening for dreamers, insomniacs, night owls, nocturnalists, drifters, and nomads. For lovers Fagen's 'Nightfly', Auden's 'Night Mail', Hopper's 'Nighthawks' and the 'drifting sea-dark streets' of Dylan Thomas. For all those who used to listen to the transistor under your pillow, love the sound of distant trains and rain against the windowpanes, canals and drover's tracks, lost music, splashed puddles, fireflies and bats, hares by moonlight, windsong among pines, owl-light, the shipping forecast, and all the wonderful, terrifying, grand and tawdry avenues of the night. Cosy listening for bedtimes. Company Men's Podcast Company Men 1.Fantasy (Original Mix)Company Men feat Tommie Nibbs2.Make Me Beautiful (Incl.
