Did Video Kill the Radio Star? AI Redux
Description:
Since the inception of creative mediums, technology has constantly obliged us to renew our tools. The result, somewhat strangely, is a dialogue that pits mediums against each other. When Photography came to the fore, we announced the "death of painting". When Video was invented we declared it would "kill the Radio Star". Now that Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a potent tool, we're engaging in similar debates. Why do we use such Darwinian, endgame language to pit mediums against each other? Will AI truly "kill" the traditional creative industries?
