Reversing Climate Change

I Made AI-Generated Art and Now I’m Wondering What Is Art Even for?

My podcasting editing platform Descript informed me of a new integration with ChatGPT where it would make me a custom video. I complied in perhaps the most annoying and meta way possible.

That video exists at the end of this podcast, but first, I have thoughts I'd like to share on what this process made me feel and think about.

I've heard so many takes on artificial intelligence and art, and I have several of my own that I don't often hear reflected. Mine pertain to the sociological purpose of art, and of developing aesthetic talent on the road to greatness.
