Is AI the ultimate creative sidekick—or is it slowly replacing human originality? In this episode of Inside the Design Studio, I sit down with poet, educator, and someone who is deeply engaged with AI in education, Scott Chalupa to explore the tension between AI and creativity.

We tackle: 🎭 AI's role in art, poetry, and film (yes, including The Brutalist controversy!) 📚 Whether AI is inspiring new ideas or just remixing old ones 🤖 The ethical dilemma of AI "learning" from human-made content 🎓 How educators and students are adapting to AI in the classroom

If you've ever wondered whether AI is a revolutionary tool or the beginning of creative doom, this episode is for you.
