🎙️ Episode 37: The AI Devolution

Episode 37 – The AI Devolution: Broetry, Bots and the Death of VoiceEveryone’s calling it an AI revolution. We’re asking whether it’s becoming a devolution.In this episode of Awesomely Off-Topic, we take a proper look at what’s happening when creativity gets outsourced a little too eagerly. Not from a place of panic. Not from a place of fear. But from lived experience.We use AI. We value AI. But we’re also noticing something uncomfortable – when you lean on it too heavily, your own thinking, confidence and creative muscle can start to atrophy.We talk about:Why so much content now sounds eerily the sameThe overuse of rhetorical “broetry” patternsWhy AI is only ever as good as what you feed itThe difference between complementing creative professionals and bypassing themArt scraping, genre styles and where the ethical line sitsWhy the least interesting thing ChatGPT can do is write your LinkedIn postsAnd what the real power of these tools actually isThis isn’t anti-AI.It’s pro-standards. Pro-voice. Pro-thinking for yourself. Pro not using really obvious triads, like this one! (Well, it was before we added a fourth :D ).If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re using AI – or whether it’s starting to use you – this one’s for you.🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.Something you’d love us to know?
