Submissions so far!

Have a new mosaic header, with the women who were submitted so far, and a list, grouped by show/movie etc., under the readmore!

Don't worry; if your champion isn't in here, you can still submit them via this form, until April 30th!

I chose these pictures based on the following ranked criteria:

included/linked in the submission OR

actual still from the movie/show/whatever, rather than a promo shot or fan art etc. AND

showing them in a characteristic and/or competent situation

for the characters Deanna Troi, Dr. Beverly Crusher and Seven of Nine, I decided to go with their most recent appearances in ST:PIC

If by any chance I chose NOT a still/screenshot, but your manip of the same, please let me know if you'd like me to take it down/replace it, or keep it and credit you!

Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

The old saying about teachers learning as much from their students as students learning from teachers is certainly true, but in my years of teaching I've encountered another truism* that's less frequently bandied about: the process of preparing to teach can be just as educational (if not broadly edifying) as teaching itself.

Case in point: the short video I found, when preparing for the final meeting of my recent Hugo House class, of Ed Yong discussing the role writers play in communicating science. Here's its juiciest quote:

Good science journalism is also an important corrective force; it's a wall that stands between the public and this huge amount of hype and misinformation and vested interests, and it's the tension between these two sides that informs the work that I do. Writing that reveals how incredible the world around us is, and that also calls out bullshit when it's necessary.

And here's the video:

What Yong is saying isn't new, but it is nice and succinct. And one could easily replace the phrase "science journalism" with any sort of nonfiction writing/storytelling/creative discipline; the point is the placement of the writer between the material being turned into a story and the audience for that story. It's the writer's—the interlocutor's—job to ensure that the story being told is both true to the material and to the audience. They serve both masters, so to speak.

Which brings me (as does so much these days!) to artificial intelligence. If indeed "90% of online content" will be AI-generated by 2025, then the role writers/interlocutors play will be even more important—they will ensure trust.

Sure sure, that 90% number feels both picked out of thin air and likely to cover all sorts of clearly-just-marketing-or-spam "content," but the point remains that AI will likely make human writers and human curators all the more important. As Patrick Nathan put it in his book Image Control, in "the rushing flow of commodities, a dialectical approach to the art we make and the relationships we forge is the rock in the river, the stick in the spokes."

Meanwhile, to underscore my point, The Atlantic recently reported that an enormous database of pirated books has been used to train several large language models. "Upwards of 170,000 books, the majority published in the past 20 years" are included in a dataset called "Books3," which includes "nonfiction by Michael Pollan, Rebecca Solnit, and Jon Krakauer" and "thrillers by James Patterson and Stephen King and other fiction by George Saunders, Zadie Smith, and Junot Díaz."

!!!

To which no less than Margaret Atwood responded thusly:

A former teacher of mine once said there was only one important question to be asked of a work of art: “Is it alive, or is it dead?” Judging from the results I’ve seen so far, AI can produce “art” of a kind. It sort of looks like art; it sort of sounds like art. But it’s made by a Stepford Author. And it’s dead.

Yes, the title is a reference to the Walter Benjamin essay.
