"We are going to see unemployment rising in the next 2 to 3 years. Some sectors will see 20, 30%... But that's not a challenge of AI; that's a... choice of the capitalists who run businesses that will choose to reduce costs"

7½ yrs ago I began my weekly #JohnDrawsBBCQT challenge (to live draw a #BBCQT contributor). Last wk I drew this audience member.
Tonite it's an AI special. Might see how well AI does the same drawing & compare results! (AI will be faster but will mine be better?)

"Do you really think [supermarkets] are voluntarily going to cut their profit margins [for food price caps]? They'll pass it on to the ppl selling the products to the supermarkets & it's them that'll end up out of pocket." ~ Audience member

With Andy Burnham in headlines at the moment (with him running for MP in Makerfield etc) it's a good time to re-share my 2 previous #JohnDrawsBBCQT portraits of @AndyBurnhamGM (from 2020 & 2021). #BBCQT @bbcquestiontime

I've also put a sneaky bet on to spice up the summer... 😉

I can't watch #BBCQT live, so I'm doing my #JohnDrawsBBCQT artwork early! I see @rachelmillward is on the panel - so I'm drawing her from last week's appearance! Hopefully she'll mention my friend Chris Ogden of the @McrGreenParty who was elected as a councillor!

"I don't think we'll ever be able to eliminate hate – that's a kind of a false dream. But what we need to do is lead by example... We need to figure out how our politicians can lead by example." ~ Audience member.

While we all wait for @bbcquestiontime to come on iPlayer (not sure why it's not on at 9pm as advertised), why not take a moment to enjoy my drawing of @ChefTomKerridge from last week's #bbcqt programme? Tonight's drawing will happen later... :)
