AI is a topic that I get asked about a looooot, I think there’s huge amount of worry around and rightfully so, it’s the unknown, but something pops up every few decades to disturb the entire creative process (photography, digital art, 3d rendering) and things shift and adjust, so this isn’t the first and won’t be the last.

So I've put some thoughts together about what I've learnt, as I haven't shared anything like this since my 6 month mile stone, and things have changed a bit since then...
