📝 Show Notes:
In this reflective solo episode, I explore the tension between embracing artificial intelligence and preserving the creative integrity that defines our work.
As AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini become embedded in our workflows, the big question isn’t if we’ll use them—it’s how. From automating administrative tasks to untangling the clutter of RFPs, AI is helping us get unstuck and move faster. But there’s a hard boundary we won’t cross: creativity.
This episode covers:
The two real ways we use AI at Podfly
Why LLMs are like overconfident virtual assistants (and that’s okay)
The difference between helping with the work and doing the work
Why AI-generated content lacks a true point of view
How creative fallibility—our “dirty mirror”—is a feature, not a bug
Why human-made podcasts still matter in a world of automation
From podcasting to bread-making, we believe there’s always room for the magic only a human can make.
