🎙️ Episode 10: Is AI an Evil Threat for the Creative?

Podcast: AI for the Creative Mind

Hosted by: Steve Albanese with co-host Nova Sage

When every new tool feels like a threat… is it really, or is it just the start of something bigger?

In this episode, Steve and Nova dive into one of the most debated questions in modern creativity: Is AI a threat to human expression—or a new creative superpower? Through personal stories, historical patterns, and practical insights, they explore how tools once feared as “cheating”—from synthesizers to Auto-Tune—actually opened the doors to new genres, sounds, and opportunities. Steve shares a story about his early work with Auto-Tune before it went public, and how it helped shape his understanding of where AI might be headed next.

🔍 What you’ll learn in this episode:

🎤 How Auto-Tune evolved from taboo to trendsetter—and what it reveals about AI today

🎨 Why creative tools often find their true power beyond their intended use

📚 What Cicero can teach us about embracing disruption

🤖 How AI can enhance—not erase—human creative expression

💡 Practical ways creators can use AI as an assistant, not a replacement

📈 Why democratizing creative tools matters for innovation and equity

Whether you’re a musician, designer, writer, or technologist, this episode will challenge you to see AI not as the villain of the creative story—but as the next chapter.
