In this episode, I talk to Bliss Sandhu, a PhD candidate and a Technical Officer at The Media School, University of Tasmania, about his fascinating research on ephemeral communication. Ephemeral communication is the use of platforms like Snapchat and Instagram Stories that allow users to share content that disappears after a short time. Bliss explains how this type of communication affects the way people perceive and interact with the environment, based on his preliminary data analysis. He also shares some tips on how to deal with technical glitches in the field, and gives his opinion on the controversial topic of data poisoning of AI art generators. If you enjoyed our previous conversation on Episode 45, you will love this one too! Tune in and learn more about the impact of ephemeral communication on our environmental awareness.

Craig Norris talks with Taylor Lidstone about his recently completed Honours research project titled 'Cultural Intermediaries in K-Pop' at the The Media School, University of Tasmania.
The episode first aired on Edge Radio 99.3FM, Thu 19 Nov 2020.

What happens when you combine one of the greatest detectives of all time with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence? Join us as we explore the latest media culture news and the fascinating world of deconstructing chatbots in Sherlock Holmes radio dramas.
All this, and the latest unusual media culture news including Unreal Engine 5’s Anime Tokyo project, Twitch streamer Pooper Noodle’s bank account rejection, and AI detector’s unreliability. We then consider how theories like deconstructionism can be applied to analyse the AI-generated Sherlock Holmes radio dramas we have been creating. And we finish with our newest creation - an interview with Sherlock Homes, Watson and the Media Mothership team.

We apply Joseph Campbell’s Hero's Journey to our AI created Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama, and then proceed to discuss its application in explaining news stories. Do these texts all hold up to the three main stages of the Hero’s Quest: Departure, Initiation, and Return? Or do they fail any test of heroic storytelling in a mythic sense.
Media Mothership explores the absurdities of modern media and culture. Hosts Dr Craig Norris and Lord Talor Lidstone make sense of the latest media news, trends and research in an informative and irreverent way.

Continuing our discussion of AI to analyse news stories and fanfiction, hosts Dr Craig and Lord Taylor return to their project to use Chat GPT-3 to generate new stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. This AI 'fanfic' story is then analysed using writing techniques to identify patterns in the writing style and language used by the AI.Our analysis shows that the stories generated by GPT-3 have some similarities to Kowal's MICE (Milieu, Inquiry, Character, Event) model of short story writing in terms of sentence structure, word choice and tone. However, our discussion also reveals that the stories lack depth and character development, which are crucial elements in storytelling. We suggest that while AI can be useful in generating new ideas and content, it cannot replace the creativity and imagination of human writers. AI-generated content should be viewed as a tool to aid human writers rather than a replacement for them.
