004: "Oh, so you want people to SUFFER?"

from Existential Phase · host Carly from Moon Pup Creative

I know that, for many people, using generative AI feels like a viable solution for the constraints of time, capacity, creativity, and even capitalism – but I just do not see it that way. This episode explores why – including the biggest reasons I avoid generative AI and LLMs in my work.*****This piece is part of my experimental email + audio series, Existential Phase, where you'll find a combination of memoir-style essays, musings on politics + culture, reflections on work + life as a self-employed person, ruminations around uncomfortable questions, and an exploration of being human –all through the lens of a Humanities degree holder, professional copywriter, and grown-ass woman who refuses to choose between depth and delight.*****Hi Listener! While you're here...Does writing about yourself feel hard, even though you’re a good writer? Same, and help is here!
