Episode 3 - We talk about the hottest topic, Ai generated images and photography.Brian is a writer, artist, photographer and musician from Cambridge, UK. He has been an enthusiastic early adopter of technology since his teenage years; when, as a drummer, he became interested in the arrival of drum machines and samplers. In a similar vein, as a lifelong, passionate photographer (and with an MA in Photography), he recently decided to embrace the new crop of generative AI tools for image creation (rather than seeing them as a threat).
