I talk with Scott Johnson (Frogpants), a professional cartoonist and podcaster, to explore Generative AI's place in the world of digital art. Scott shares his experience transitioning from traditional to digital art years ago, his thoughts on generative AI and the ethical questions it raises for artists, and how he sees indie games devs using the tech moving forward. Discover how Scott sees AI as both a tool and a challenge for creatives. Plus, Scott reveals how he uses ChatGPT to get things done as a popular podcaster.
