About Who is Afraid of Frankenstein? And of Generative AI? Fast Company Brasil

This Fast Company Brasil article examines public and creative industry reactions to generative AI in Brazil, using Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein as a framing device. It centers on the disqualification of a Clube de Literatura Clássica edition of Frankenstein from Brazil's Jabuti national literary prize, after the publication used the AI image generator Midjourney to create its cover art. The piece includes commentary from tech expert Silvio Meira, who compares current AI resistance to historical pushback against new technologies like the printing press, and illustrator Vicente Pessôa, who argues AI is a standard design tool comparable to existing software like Photoshop. It also links to related recent news stories covering AI use in creative and other industries.
