E107: Should Artists Use AI? Creativity, Ethics and Finding Your Boundaries

Send us your feedbackAI can save creative business owners time—but what happens when it begins replacing the creativity customers believe they are buying?In this solo episode, Kaylie shares how her relationship with AI has changed since generative tools first became widely available. What began as curiosity and excitement has become a much more complicated mix of practical support, ethical questions and genuine frustration.Kaylie explores the difference between using AI to reduce repetitive business tasks and using it to generate the artwork, products or creative identity at the centre of a business. She also discusses the flood of AI-generated colouring books, clip art, videos and other products appearing across creative marketplaces—and why context, transparency and creative authorship matter.In this episode: Why the novelty of generative AI has worn off for Kaylie  How mass-produced AI content affects artists, makers and illustrators  The difference between AI-assisted business tasks and AI-generated creative products  Why solo business owners and large companies cannot always be judged in the same way  How Kaylie currently uses AI for planning, automation, writing support and repetitive tasks  The questions she asks before using AI within her own creative process  Why human imperfections, decisions and developing skills still hold value  How creatives can establish personal AI boundaries without choosing an extreme position This is not an episode telling you which side to choose. It is an honest conversation about changing your mind, questioning your tools and protecting the part of your creative work that can only come from you.Listen, reflect and share the episode with another artist, handmade seller or digital creator navigating their own relationship with AI.Support the show Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!
