In this episode, Chris Do and Jodie Cook explore how creatives should approach AI, balancing curiosity with the fear many still hold. They examine how AI reshapes workflows, speeds up production, and challenges long-standing ideas about originality.
Chris shares examples from design, film, and typography to show how every generation labels new tools as “cheating.” Jodie adds how AI expands creative capacity, boosts output, and accelerates learning. Together, they highlight the ongoing tension between authenticity, efficiency, and evolving creative standards.
