Most excellent top tip from my 14 yo - if you add various expletives (excluding "bloody") to your Google search you do NOT get given any AI answer, just the regular responses. Simples

Being quite long of tooth in the museum world I can wholeheartedly say the best projects make space for failure and lessons learned. Also as decreasing funds directly decrease appetite for risk, agree failure (and mitigation) should be planned for not treated as disaster or feared.

“The AI jobs crisis is not the sudden displacement of millions of workers in one fell swoop—instead, it’s evident in the attrition in creative industries, the declining income of freelance artists, writers, and illustrators, and in corporations’ inclination to simply hire fewer human workers.”
