Welcome to the latest episode of Social Confoes, the podcast where we discuss the intersection of creativity, technology, and society. In this episode, hosts Diego and Jean-luc delve into the relationship between creativity and productivity, and how to balance both in a business setting. They also explore the concept of artists being trapped by the expectations of a wider audience, and the potential impact of AI on the creative industry.

Key Takeaways

1. The balance between creativity and productivity is crucial when working on a project with a restricted time frame, and it requires setting a framework and then pushing creativity within it.
2. When an artist becomes mainstream, they face the pressure of meeting the expectations of a wider audience, and this can lead to a loss of authenticity and creativity.
3. AI is just another tool in the arsenal of the creative industry, and the danger lies in not adapting to it rather than using it.
4. Once an artist becomes recognized, they have the ability to do whatever they want because they have established their brand and reputation.
5. The most distinctive technological shift in recent history has been the debate between painters and photographers, and now the introduction of AI is just another extension of technology in the creative industry.
