This week, Met and Til chat about the place of AI in the art world. We look at how authenticity, originality and ethics are challenged through AI art and explore whether these concerns are necessary as data emerges as a more normalised medium. Don't worry! It is not as confusing as learning about the function of a function of an appartatus' function... Plus,  we listen to an original song made by AI, chat about virtual influencers (wot) and for you Naarm (Melbourne) crew, the new Lume exhibition to uncover why “AI has the potential to fundamentally change every industry and every society”. Join us every week for our crumbs and topical chats about snit that gets the cogs turning!
