In this video, Sabrina grapples with the role AI plays in her life; she interviews an art appraiser to figure out how the art market really works, speaks with a museum curator to understand why certain paintings make it onto walls, and talks with two artists on opposite ends of the debate. Okay, I'm going to stop speaking in the third person to say that I hope you like this video. I'm sorry in was 36 minutes of me realizing I still don't know how I really feel.
