We're back back back again! It's first episode of Season 2 and this one has ALL of the information, facts, figures, and fun stuff for people who enjoy research.

In this episode we're diving into the strange, beautiful and dangerous world of AI Art. I bet many of you have seen AI images creeping into client inquiry forms and infiltrating your Pinterest boards and Instagram feeds. While they may seem like something straight out of a fairytale, do you really know HOW these images are generated and the ripple effect that generation has on art, culture, and society as a whole? Well buckle up, because you're about to find out!

We'll discuss:

• What AI art is and how it's created
• Some examples of AI Art models that you may be familiar with
• The negative impacts these models have on us as creatives AND the society as a whole
• How to protect YOUR art and IP that has been shared online and in the public domain
• How to spot AI art and what we can do when we're faced with these images when they pop up in our corner of the industry

ALSO, BIG NEWS!

In the beginning of the episode I introduced the new community extension of the podcast- The Whisktakers Society! This is a place for bakers, cakers, sweet creatives, and small business owners alike to interact, uplift, and support one another. If you've got a question, want to share a win or something new happening in your business, then what better way to ask or celebrate than with your peers!
