Description

In this episode we sit down with Robin Sloan to talk about:

• What it was like experimenting with GPT back in 2017—and whether he burned out before the hype
• Why AI writing lacks the density of choices that makes human work feel alive
• The paradox of AI humor and why real art depends on things being a little weird
• His shift from online publishing to hand-printed zines—and why “offline math” works better for artists
• How he actually uses AI for travel and editing, and where it still falls short
• Why discovery and criticism matter more than ever in the age of algorithms
• and more
