Curtis Campbell has something to say about AI in the arts

In this episode Curtis Campbell joins host Phil Rickaby to talk about AI in the theatre. In the lead up to this summer's Toronto Fringe, it was noticed that a number of shows were using AI generated posters, which sparked a discourse on social media about whether Generative AI should be used in the Fringe and beyond. This conversation spread to the Edinburgh Fringe, where AI generated posters were also seen.

In this episode Curtis and Phil talk about AI, its use in the arts, and whether AI should be embraced or avoided.

Note: in this episode, Curtis mentions a video that Phil published about his poster creation process. That video can be found here.
