Episode 9 takes on the question the show was built for: whose words are they when the ghost is a machine? The guest is Dylan Latour, a ghostwriter who launched an AI-native agency in 2024 serving the mortgage industry, and who is blunt that writing is less than half the job.

The real work, he says, is pulling ideas out of a client's head and getting them brave enough to publish. Then the turn. Everyone blames AI for the flood of soulless content, and Dylan flips it: this is human slop, so stop blaming the AI and start blaming yourself. From there the three of them follow the thread through the creator economy, why the studios should fear AI more than the actors do, why an online presence is now mandatory, and a genuinely optimistic vision of a future where the boring work is automated and people do what gives them life.
