Project Archivist

After a long time away I decided to fire the microphone back up and make a new show. In this episode, I am joined by Joe from The Ozone Nightmare Podcast and Jim Nettles from Con-Tinual for a deep discussion on the emerging realm of A.I generated art. It seems like A.I is everywhere in the art world from Creating images, writing music, generating computer code, and even writing movie scripts and video games. We take a deep look at how these programs work and if living artists have anything to fear. Is this the next step in Artificial intelligence? Will it take over this podcast? will it release episodes in a timely manner? and Does it dream of electric sheep?
