AI can generate ideas instantly.

But creativity has traditionally relied on something very different: friction.
In this episode of Decoded: AI for Everyone, we explore what happens to creativity when the struggle disappears. If AI can produce endless variations in seconds, do we risk becoming curators instead of creators? Or can these tools actually help us think more creatively?
Using everyday examples, this episode explores how AI is changing the creative process (from writing and design to problem-solving and idea generation) and how we can intentionally use AI to introduce productive friction that expands our thinking rather than replacing it.
The goal isn’t to resist AI.
It’s to use it in ways that strengthen creativity, judgement, and originality.
