Hosts: Mark Smith, Meg Smith

Creativity is not replaced by AI. It is amplified. Meg and Mark unpack how AI frees time, widens ideas, and supports practice. They argue for redefining wealth as time to create, building human-AI teams, and using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude to move from blank page to applied output. They ground it in gardening, branding, writing, and “vibe coding,” and echo Neil deGrasse Tyson’s call to out-create the machine.
