The Hidden Cost of AI Art: Brandon Sanderson

An interesting keynote about hidden cost of AI Art by the author Brandon Sanderson. I might be a bit biased though, since Sanderson is my favourite author, and I am resistant to some of the things "AI" is used for, if not completely anti-AI.

What do you think about this?
