#22 - AI can't blush

What if the real question about AI isn’t what it can do—but what it will never be able to feel? In this episode of Shapeshifter, I wade through the noise of automation, convenience, and productivity to reflect on something deeper: what makes us human, and why that matters more than ever.Join me as we explore:The Rise of AI: What ChatGPT and other AI tools are doing for us—and to us.Feeling vs. Function: Why the body matters, and why AI’s lack of a nervous system means it can never truly blush, tremble, or fall in love.Textiles, Memory & The Goss: How women have passed ancestral wisdom through threads, gossip, and sacred mess for generations.Ceremony vs. Simulation: The danger of replacing embodied ritual with digital efficiency, and why presence still holds the power.Choosing Slowness: Why in a world that’s speeding up, artists and shapeshifters are being called to zag—to slow down, gather, stitch, and remember.This episode is a love letter to the handmade, the heartfelt, the imperfect, and the deeply human. If you’ve ever felt like your soul is whispering “don’t forget the pulse,” this one’s for you.Coming soon: Ancestral Awakening, my most honest and transformative offering yet, opens this September.
