Imagine you’re a painter. You've spent countless hours in your studio, honing your craft with every careful brushstroke. After what seems like a lifetime, you now make enough money from your commissions to live a comfortable life. You might even dare to call yourself a professional.

However, there are whispers in artist circles all over the city. They say that people are seeing their work dry up and it's AI that's at fault. You’ve seen plenty of AI-generated art and think it's crude, lifeless, and lacks that all-important thing - a soul.

So, is this fear universal? Does AI offer anything good to the art world at all?

Today’s guest is James Seward, a realist figurative painter who lives and works in New York City. James’ most recent collection - The Embrace, explores the moment of a hug in a selection of movies, both contemporary and classic.
