00:00 I guess it's coming, we know it's coming because visual art, I guess, is a little bit behind
00:07 novelists and writers who are worried about this issue with their work being kind of plagiarised

00:18 I just wonder if the Portrait Prize may be going out a bit early, maybe somebody's got
00:25 to.
00:26 I just wonder how the element that is AI generated will be described by the artist and then in
00:35 which case how much is technology and how much is the hand of the artist and the soul
00:43 of the artist and also of the subject too.
00:46 It's hard to imagine that artificial intelligence computer can get into the soul of the subject
00:54 and I mean that's what great portraits are.
00:56 We visit the Archibald Prize and the Brisbane Portrait Prize in our thousands because we
01:01 want to see other people and ourselves in this work.
01:07 Can this work from a computer?
01:09 I doubt it.
01:11 If the computer can create that then my gosh, aren't we in a whole new world.
