ChatGPT Made Me Answer 100+ Questions About My Own Life, Cold (This or That Pt. 1)

This episode is a little different. I'm answering a completely unprepared round of This or That questions that ChatGPT asked, from food, travel, fitness, and music to freelancing, creative work, money, personal projects, and the kind of creative career I actually want. Some answers were easy. Others made me question choices I've apparently been making for years. We get into everything from creative freedom vs. financial success and specialist vs. generalist to perfectionism, procrastination, personal projects, and whether I'd rather be a creative director or a maker. Consider this a more personal introduction to the person behind AI for Creative Professionals. And because this got much longer than expected, the AI edition is coming in Part 2.

If this helped, subscribe to AI for Creative Professionals on Apple or Spotify for more practical AI tools for creatives — freelance and in-house designers, writers, marketers, photographers, video editors, podcasters and other creative professionals figuring out how to work with AI without losing what makes their work theirs. I cover AI tools for creatives, AI workflows, prompt engineering, creative automation, AI-assisted content creation and the latest AI industry trends, with tools I tested in real creative workflows rather than just repeated from a launch announcement. I also talk about the other side of working with AI: creative careers, AI job anxiety, AI burnout, creative identity, maintaining your voice and taste, client expectations, boundaries, and what we might be better off keeping human. I'm also on Substack at @aiforcreativeprofessionals if you want to connect directly, it's where I will post the more personal, behind-the-scenes stuff that doesn't fit into an episode.
