The Human Touch: Why AI Will Never Replace the Artisan

from The Handcrafted Podcast: The Business of making things · host Paul Mencel

In this episode, Paul explores how the rise of artificial intelligence could change not just how we work—but who we are. Drawing from a conversation with Simon Sinek, he discusses the skills AI can’t replicate—empathy, patience, imperfection—and why those traits are at the core of artisan work. In a world rushing toward automation, handmade may be the final frontier of authenticity.Plus a question from Naomi in Portland! Join the Network
