Description
The conversation about AI and creativity has been dominated by two camps: the evangelists promising a golden age, and the purists declaring the end of creativity as we know it.
But most creative people are sitting in the uncomfortable middle, where the technology is simultaneously more mundane, more powerful, and more mysterious than either camp admits.
These conversations won't give you definitive answers about whether AI is good or bad for creativity. This is not the time to speak in vague generalities. WE LIVE IN STRANGE TIMES!
These are messy, nuanced, conversations with real people doing real creative work--not in the abstract, but within the particular circumstances of their craft, constraints, and aspirations.

Cover inspo
For the cover, our friend Jake Weber (the founder of Printernet, and the same guy that will package and mail this zine to you) cut letters from old magazines and books by hand. They are human, imperfect, and laborious. They also double as a symbol for the way large language models are built: by assembling fragments of all humanity’s writing and culture into something new. A patchwork of the past rearranged into unexpected futures. Digitally handmade, that’s the vibe.
