Picturing Wit and Wisdom: Can AI Imaging Capture Jane Austen’s Genius?

 

JASNA Greater Sacramento Member Joy Prevost will expand on the presentation she gave for the Pecha Kucha session at the 2025 AGM.

Jane Austen’s genius was one-of-a-kind and her writings are incomparable. Her books are constantly reprinted and many editions are illustrated. AI can “read” and utilize the text of novels, but can it engage and feel them or understand the nuances, emotions, satire, and humor as we readers and artists do? This presentation will compare and juxtapose how illustrators of Austen novels and creators of Austen art understand her characters, plots, and language versus AI-generated versions. New interpretations will range from realistic to fantasy style, watercolor to photography style, comic to serious, to name a few of the potential outcomes of AI-generated artwork.

Zoom information will be sent to members prior to the event. This program will not be recorded.
