AI vs Artists - The Biggest Art Heist in History

Generative AI can be called many things depending on your point of view: machine, thief, tool, medium, collaborator, muse and even artist. In this video I will try to find answers for a lot of complex things and I will attempt to judge this technology with an open mind. In the last couple of weeks I spoke to many amazing artists and scientists about my mixed feelings of generative AI. Join me to hear their thoughts, my advice to creators and predictions on what’s to come.

This video is NOT monetized. I didn't make this video to profit from it. I put a lot of effort into making it and hoping to bring more awareness to this issue. I really appreciate if you can share it with your friends/followers!
