AI art has exploded in recent months and it has created a big rift between the art and tech world. I also have a lot of concerns so I invited a Silicon Valley insider to talk about it. Evan Conrad is someone who’s actively working in the AI space and he was nice enough to give his time to answer my questions about the ethical and financial concerns artists have related to this emerging technology. I hope you enjoy this convo we had and come away from it with a better understanding of how developers view AI.
