In this episode, Robert and Haley dive into the world of AI-generated art, featuring the groundbreaking sale of Ai-Da's painting of Alan Turing, which just sold for over $1 million. We'll explore how Ai-Da, one of the most advanced humanoid robots, is pushing boundaries in the art world and the unique process that led to her record-breaking piece, “A.I. God.”

Join us as we discuss:

  • Art Meets Technology: How Ai-Da’s design enables her to create portraits, and the impact of her work on art collectors.
  • AI’s Role in Creativity: Are machines capable of true artistry, or is this just advanced programming? We explore the philosophical debate around AI and creativity.
  • The Market for AI Art: With collectors snapping up digital and AI-produced art, what does this mean for the future of traditional artists and the art market?

This is more than just a conversation about art; it’s a journey into the potential of AI to redefine creativity and human expression. Get ready to question what art is and who—or what—can create it.
