In this episode, we delve into the impact of modern technology on creativity. We discuss how the evolution of media consumption, from radio and TV to the internet, has changed the way people engage with music, art, and culture. We reflect on the loss of boredom as a creative catalyst, noting that constant access to information and technology may be stifling originality.
Our discussion turns to the dangers of over-relying on AI tools like ChatGPT for creative processes. We emphasize the importance of personal engagement in artistic tasks, even when technology offers convenient shortcuts. We share personal anecdotes about the challenges of maintaining authenticity in a formula-driven industry and explore how algorithms and commercial pressures can lead to homogenized art. The episode wraps up with a thoughtful examination of how to balance technology with genuine creativity, encouraging listeners to find inspiration in their own experiences and resist the allure of easy solutions. - Ai
