AI is inescapable online right now, the debates, the discourse, the grievances. But this episode of Social Sleuth takes a different angle: instead of tallying up critiques, we sit down with Eli James, an artist hesitant of generative AI, to explore the emotional and personal dimensions of what it actually means to make things.
We get into the philosophical questions that tend to get flattened in the culture war around AI: what creativity means when a machine is involved, the ethical dilemmas that genuinely deserve attention, and how artists are navigating tools that are powerful, contested, and still deeply misunderstood.
Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a sceptic, or somewhere in the complicated middle, this one is worth listening to with an open mind.
