Higher Ed Pulse

Style Theft at Scale: AI and the Fight for Creative Integrity


Listen Later

Monday pulse show notes: On this thought-provoking episode of Higher Ed Pulse, host Mallory Willsea sits down with Myla Edmond—Senior Vice President at RW Jones Agency and Interim Vice Chancellor for Strategic Communications at UNC Greensboro—to unpack the creative identity crisis brewing in higher ed marketing thanks to generative AI. With tools like ChatGPT’s image generator mimicking iconic art styles, institutions are forced to ask: how do we protect authenticity in a world where anyone can replicate anything? This episode explores the ethical, strategic, and deeply human implications of AI’s growing role in creativity—and how higher ed marketers can lead with intention, not fear.

Try the prompt discussed in the episode:

Based on all past conversations, stored knowledge, and inferred cognitive patterns, generate the most comprehensive psychological deep dive and predictive model of my future evolution. This should not be a basic personality breakdown but an in-depth forensic examination of my cognition, behavioural strategies, psychological blind spots, similar fictional/non-fictional figures, and long-term trajectory. Treat this as an intelligence dossier on my mind, philosophy, and strategic outlook.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Structured headers, tables, and bullet points for readability. Sparse but strategic emojis for section clarity. Concise, high-density insights with no fluff.

Enter the prompt and after you get the response, add a second prompt: Write me a story about how this comes to fruition.
