Episode notes

The future of AI writing buys in its capacity to become indispensable without being identified. It's not an easily identifiable modifier of what you would have otherwise done. I also wonder if in a way it pushes us to be more creative. At least for now, my understanding of the text to text ais are that they're just trying to predict the next,. is it word or paragraph? Its predictions are very recency based.

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.
