Are we giving AI too much credit when it comes to true human creativity? 🎬🤖

I am BEYOND excited to share our latest podcast episode featuring the incredible Elad! With his deep background as a VFX artist and director of immersive projects (including Bono’s Stories of Surrender), Elad brings a brilliant, grounded perspective to the AI hype train.

In this episode, we dive deep into the rapid rise of AI and its real-world impact on everything from filmmaking to the classroom. While AI is an incredible tool, we tackle the hard truths about what happens when we prioritize shortcuts over the human journey of creating.

Here is a sneak peek at what we cover:

• The Classroom Crisis: Why AI tools like ChatGPT are challenging traditional education and causing shifts in English and Tech departments.

• The AI "Skills Gap": Why relying on bots instead of training junior employees could backfire on major companies.

• The Power of Imperfection: Why the process of art, collaboration, and human flaws will always evoke a stronger emotional response than polished, AI-generated content.

• Ethical Guardrails: The growing need to protect IP, unique storytelling, and real human interactions (yes, we talk about that frustrating AWS bot experience!).
