Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Speakery Notes, I sat down with the artist ⁠Eric Drass⁠ to discuss presenting artificial intelligence, art, studio assistants and how anybody can use ChatGPT to have an argument. 
Throw a stick at LinkedIn, and you'll hit a keynote or presentation about artificial intelligence, chatGPT or Midjourney. It seems that everybody and their line manager is an expert on AI–we all know that some prompters are more qualified than others to talk about what artificial intelligence is and what it means to contemporary living and working, so I thought I'd grab an actual expert, who has an actual track record for actually using the bloody stuff: Eric Drass. 

Eric Drass is an artist making work in a range of media, from painting to music to machine-learning AI art. Some of his favourite themes are identity, consciousness, the philosophical ramifications of artificial intelligence, big data and the relationship between humans and machines. He likes to talk about these things whenever he is given the chance.
He was recently part of The Royal Insitute's Christmas Lecture, ⁠where he presented AI art to hundreds of children⁠.
He currently has two talks called AI WTF? and The Truth, Post-Truth & Nothing Like The Truth. ⁠So book him now⁠. He's incredible. Your audiences will adore him.
