If you’ve ever wanted to create images of your cat in front of the seven wonders of the world, or create sonnets that would make Shakespeare blush, there has never been a better time to be alive. Cheap, accessible AI tools are changing our relationships with information, facts and content generation.

But today we look at a much more basic question. What if this earth shattering technology isn’t earth shattering at all? What if the AI we fear losing our jobs to is all a bit mid?

Today, Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage pose the most explosive question of all and ask: AI, ya basic?
