'Octane Render is about the advent of believable art made by generative A.I. The original piece was for Friends With Benefits. The print version includes further discussion on topics brought up by readers, including generative A.I. as an accessibility tool, “ethical” uses of A.I. art and whether we can expect A.I. to save artists (as opposed to burying them).'
