Every new technology has a wave of people who meet it with resistance and they don't want the world to change. But basically, even if some jobs go, others will pop up. People will have to reskill to a degree because this is just like a new tool in our toolbox.
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.

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.
