Episode notes

I think with AI in particular, it feels like a lot of things have already been built. It really does feel very early and that this is going to be disruptive in a very tangible way. Not everyone is going to adopt AI immediately or use AI tools, because it exists. And so that's just an example of human behavior. I do think you're right that for us, we're like, Oh my God, but we are on the fringe. And I think it'll take time.

For years, people thought that artificial intelligence would wipe out repetitive tasks, but leave the creatives untouched. But recent developments have left many people surprised and taken the creative world by storm.

Tools like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion gave anyone with a keyboard and a wifi connection the ability to spin up images from text prompts, far earlier and higher quality than many imagined.

So what comes next for the artists... the writers... the musicians...? No one knows for sure, but in this episode Cal and Steph discuss the exciting new world of generative AI. They discuss what it is (and isn't), the tools they've played with, how culture and trust are shifting, who "wins" in this new world, and what they think might be on the horizon.
