"They are all really exciting."

This is what some of the UK's largest cities could look like in 2050 - according to AI.
Computer-generated images show London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Edinburgh 27 years in the future.
The images show futuristic-looking cities were made by film editor Duncan Thomsen.
He said: "I wanted to show how the 20 and 30-year-olds today will design their future like 50 and 60-year-olds today designed theirs.
"With so many things available to them like AI and design structures, it will influence every country on the planet.
"I wanted to show how you can keep a city British and make it a global interest to people.
"They are all really exciting. London will always somewhat be leading the way in design.
"I like the idea of this Blade Runner future - it brought a smile to my face."
AI responds to prompts and commands set by the user and creates pictures by referencing billions of images online.
Duncan, from Brighton, used the software Midjourney, through the application Discord.
He asked AI to create a futuristic 2050 UK city, keeping historical architecture and predicting public transport based on current ideas.
He then added vehicles that would operate in the surroundings.
