Welcome to Comm 121 Assignment #1. This is a chance for you to show what you know and think about the social impacts of new media technologies in your own words, in response to a prompt that I provide. The prompt is the article “Here’s How Generative AI Depicts Queer People” Links to an external site. Q2. This article by Reece Rogers in Wired Magazine raises concerns about the results when generative AI tools are used to create images of LGBTQ+ people. Compare these concerns to an example we have discussed in this class where communication technologies created discriminatory outcomes. What similarities and/or differences do you see between these 2 cases? Keep your answer under 250 words. Q3. We have learned about 2 ways of theorizing media technologies and their social impacts: technological determinism and social construction of technology. Which of these perspectives do you think best helps explain the implications of generative AI on visual representations of LGBTQ people? Using our course materials, clearly define the theory you are choosing to work with (worth 1 point), and then apply the theory to the social impacts of new technology discussed in the Wired article (for 2 points). Keep your answer under 250 words. Q4. What do you see as the possibilities and/or risks with images (still or moving) made using generative AI? Are there other examples of stereotyping or bias in AI images that you’re aware of, or that you’re concerned about? I’m interested here in your personal observations and experiences, so be as specific as you can. If you’re discussing a specific example, include the link or image so your grader can see what you are analyzing. Keep your response under 200 words.
