FORMOSA FILES PODCAST S4-HIGH-TECH MINI BONUS EPISODE - AI and Footbinding in Taiwan (What?)
What does AI have to do with footbinding in Taiwan? Well, it's a 13-min mini episode, so you're just gonna have to listen and find out. Check the show notes for more info.
Cover: YES, we recognize the cover is strange - but that's the point. The cover is from a prompt to an AI: "Make an image explaining the Chinese tradition of footbinding. Don't use cartoon style art. Make it look historical." And this is one of the strange options we got.
