The Naturist Living Show: A.I. and Naturism
In Episode 161, we dive into a timely topic shaking up many aspects of modern life: artificial intelligence. Though we usually focus on subjects with lasting relevance, the rapid evolution of AI demands attention now. Just two years ago, ChatGPT debuted, and today, AI is progressing at an unprecedented pace, embedding itself into countless facets of daily life. But what does this mean for naturists? Could AI serve as a valuable tool for our community, or will body-phobic policies—similar to those on social media—limit our access? We talk with Evan Nicks, publisher of Planet Nude and host of the Naked Age podcast, about the potential and pitfalls of AI in naturism. 🪐
