I work at a radio station. Before the advent of AI, I listened to most of the new music we received to know if it was any good. Now, whenever I receive a song with AI-generated image, I don't even press play, I know it's gonna be crap. I don't feel even remotely guilty for it.

First Sam Neill film I remember watching was Death in Brunswick. He and John Clarke were excellent in that. Vale Sam Neill, a man who could do indy films one day, hollywood blockbusters the next and still stay the same.
