Episode notes

There is some anti fragility. If you have this skill set of just being aware of what can be done or the vocabulary around that and just an eye for details as it relates to the design focused parts of AI, then you might still have an edge. We'll see how it pans out. But I think the idea that AI is going to steal everyone's jobs are just maybe not the reality we're going to face.

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.
