KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Google Chrome is the browser of choice for AI because of the tools available to supercharge its functionality.

2. It's VERY important to be transparent whenever ChatGPT is used in imagery.

3. AI can really help with photoshoot prep - colors can be changed, backgrounds tweaked easily. It won't replace brand photography but can be a great partner.
