A lot in the art world has changed since Marshall and I last spoke, perhaps none more than AI art. More and more artists are wondering what this emerging technology means for them. That's why, in this episode, Marshall and I will discuss the current landscape of AI art, its ethics, and its potential uses. By the way, the same day we recorded this episode, Steven Zapata posted a video about his thoughts that was widely circulated. His video instantly made our episode obsolete! As you listen to this, keep in mind that at this time we had not yet heard Steven's message – https://youtu.be/tjSxFAGP9Ss
