Advertising Creative Director Phil Gable joins Creativity Squared for a laugh-out-loud, mostly PG-13 conversation that touches on the current state of the advertising industry, the dangers of censoring A.I., and examples of his absurd A.I.-created content. Spoiler: ChatGPT had a hard time nailing down a conversation between Alice Cooper and Jay Leno in iambic pentameter about wood! Phil has been working in advertising for 25 years. He started as a copywriter when the Internet was young, then moved onto Creative Director roles at some big agencies in New York and Atlanta as well as some smaller ones in the Midwest before setting out on his own. He’s currently freelancing as a Creative Director and Strategist for several agencies in New York City, and he also runs his own production company called Porcupine Armadillo which specializes in weird, low-budget comedy. Unsurprisingly then, Phil wants to keep A.I. absurd and sees it as a playground for creating bizarre content. A.I. tools are handy for him as a creative director when it comes to editing, efficiency, or finding a word; however, actual humans are still needed to create really good strategies and new ideas. A.I. can help us appreciate strange, chaotic things and Phil makes his case for being appointed czar of bizarreness by the U.S. government.\Be prepared to laugh at his dark humor and wildly interesting takes on A.I. and humanity in this episode of Creativity Squared! EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep6-phil-gable-keep-a-i-absurd/  JOIN CREATIVITY SQUAREDSign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters SUBSCRIBESubscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1CONNECT with C^2https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcasthttps://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcasthttps://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquaredhttps://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquaredhttps://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast#CreativitySquaredCONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2https://instagram.com/helenstravelshttps://twitter.com/helenstravelshttps://linkedin.com/in/helentoddhttps://pinterest.com/helentoddCreativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform. Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates will go to ArtsWave, a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 100 arts organizations.This show is produced and made possible by the team at PLAY Audio Agency: https://playaudioagency.com.Creativity Squared is brought to you by Sociality Squared, a social media agency who understands the magic of bringing people together around what they value and love: http://socialitysquared.com. #Entertainment #LanguageModels #ArtificialIntelligence #AItechnology #DeepLearning #MachineLearning #GenerativeModels #NeuralNetworks #NaturalLanguageProcessing #ConversationalAgents #AIChatbot #VoiceTechnology #DigitalCreativity #AI #ChatGPT #Innovation #Creativity #Creators #ArtificialIntelligenceArt #ContentCreation #Artists #ContentCreators #Creatives #OpenAI #NFTs #NFTcollector 

Have you ever wished you had a duplicate version of yourself? If the answer is yes, this episode with Jon Tota is for you!Jon has spent his 25-year career at the forefront of all aspects of online digital media, including what we’ll be discussing on today’s episode which are photo realistic digital replicas of people using A.I. These are also known as digital doubles or twins, synthetic avatars, and people’s digital likeness. Jon started as a screenwriter in the early 90’s and then went on to design computer networks and trading systems for Wall Street firms. Jon co-founded Edulence in 2002 and launched Knowledgelink as one of the first video training platforms in 2004. Edulence was acquired in 2020 by ELB Learning to make Knowledgelink the Learning Management System for one of the most trusted brands in the Learning & Development space.Fast forward to today, Jon creates immersive audio and learning content at Syntax + Motion which produces online courses, interactive video series, and podcast shows.He’s also at the forefront of A.I. synthetic media as CEO of Render. Render provides Digital Likeness solutions for personal brand businesses, thought leaders, influencers, and business leaders who want to leverage their synthetic, A.I.-powered Likeness to communicate more effectively online and create audio and video content from anywhere without going on camera.As a sponsor of this podcast, Render is going to be creating a digital replica of my image and likeness, and an accurate clone of my voice so I’ll be able to create hyper-realistic avatar content with ease later this summer and I couldn’t be more excited about it! We’ll also be bringing a content capture event to Cincinnati in October so sign up for our free newsletter at CreativitySquared.com to not miss out on any of the fun! In today’s conversation with Jon, you’ll discover what digital doubles are, their application use cases in our 2D world, the ethics around them, the power of prompting from a developer’s perspective, how ChatGPT can help writers, how A.I. can break down barriers of entry for people to pursue new creative outlets, and why Jon always starts with a script.

––– On Realizing the Potential of Our Humanity I support the writers on strike.It’s unacceptable that we live in a country where a company that made over $10B this quarter has writers, people who are indispensable to its industry, who are struggling to make ends meet. Where in 2021, the combined yearly pay for the top six Hollywood CEOs surpassed $770 million while pay for TV writers has fallen by 23% over the last decade.This reality is a reflection of us. And if we want a different reality, one where creators thrive, where writers can fearlessly play with A.I., where people have equity and get paid fairly for the work they do, regardless of changes in distribution channels. Where new forms of expression and technology aren’t threats to art. Then we have to create it, together.A.I. isn’t the problem. We are. And it’s on us to course correct. To choose people over profits.Each and every person is inherently valuable and deserves the right to a decent life. If we are to realize the potential of our humanity, we have to collectively CHANGE.TO BELIEVE IT TO BE POSSIBLE.TO BELIEVE A BETTER FUTURE IS TRULY POSSIBLE.Do you believe it in your gut?Then how will we get there?Support artists. Especially trans artists. They’ll show us the way.-Helen ToddThe Human Behind Creativity SquaredCreativitySquared.com#CreativitySquared#WGAStrongDISPATCH SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/dispatch-on-realizing-the-potential-of-our-humanity-support-artists-support-the-writers-on-strike-wagstrong/ JOIN CREATIVITY SQUAREDSign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters SUBSCRIBESubscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1CONNECT with C^2https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcasthttps://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcasthttps://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquaredhttps://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquaredhttps://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast#CreativitySquaredCONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2https://instagram.com/helenstravelshttps://twitter.com/helenstravelshttps://linkedin.com/in/helentoddhttps://pinterest.com/helentoddCreativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform. Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates will go to ArtsWave, a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 100 arts organizations.This show is produced and made possible by the team at PLAY Audio Agency: https://playaudioagency.com. Creativity Squared is brought to you by Sociality Squared, a social media agency who understands the magic of bringing people together around what they value and love: http://socialitysquared.com.

Jey Van-Sharp aka the “/Prompt Papi” joins Creativity Squared for a conversation that touches on everything from culture as data to imagineering and Beauty and The Beast. Jey, a Venezuelan kid raised in New York City, co-founded MyÜberLife Consulting Group. MÜLF is a global consultancy specializing in providing innovative solutions to help geniuses, creators, celebrities, executives, and companies navigate the complexities of modern business and achieve success in their endeavors.He sees the current zeitgeist around artificial intelligence as either epicly optimistic or full of skepticism. However, there’s more than that.We’re at the intersection of culture, creativity, commerce, and community in a new age of intelligence. When it comes to A.I., education and literacy are key in addition to A.I. tools and language everyday people can use. It’s also an exciting time where creatives now have the advantage and can use A.I. as a $160,000 assistant to iterate and amplify their work more. Creativity brings ideas to life, and Jey is all about manifesting positive change and bringing people together for a better world.Jey’s focus when it comes to the implications of A.I. is how we can keep things safe and make people more productive, especially in his own communities. He also believes in looking inward and leaning into your creativity. His advice to creatives: Don’t get overwhelmed by the uncertainty and fast-speed at which this technology is coming. Lean into the uncertainty and your creativity. And most interestingly: Can A.I. Walt Disney write a business plan?
