A (Gentle) Artist's Perspective On AI Generated Art

I know that AI generated art is an area of concern for many artists right now so I wanted to share my perspective and the perspective of some of our community members with a gentle conversation about it.

This isn't a comprehensive deep-dive into AI art, it's just a casual chat about it as an artist ????

Here are the articles that feature in the video:
