Joanna PennHOST

We discuss why writing code is actually creative work and what it shares with writing books, how AI changed Anna's job as a software engineer without taking her employment, the difference between AI assistance and one-click generation, how to use custom skills for editing, research, and repeatable tasks, why the rise of AI makes us crave slow, imperfect physical things, and responding to negative reviews by showing up as a human.

MollyHOST
30:04
It really helps.
MegHOST
30:05
I mean, before we get off of this, and I know it's probably like a whole episode of solely on mental creative work.
MegHOST
30:12
Last night, I was feeling really anxious.
MegHOST
30:14
And I thank God for my husband for having done this work himself and everything.
Kalle RyanGUEST

Kalle RyanGUEST
12:40
There's no rules now, and I could just unspool the help.
Kalle RyanGUEST
12:43
Yeah,
Matt LeGrandeGUEST
30:53
Well, after talking to you now and being encouraged in that way, I totally am.
Matt LeGrandeGUEST
30:56
There's also this thing that's interesting with creative work where... what you were talking about, like protecting yourself creatively.
Matt LeGrandeGUEST
31:03
Like I wrote this thing and I sent out a draft of different people and I got really, people were like, yes, we have to make this.

Well, it's not even in the loop.
Daniel CroftHOST
3:09
The human's in control.
Daniel CroftHOST
3:10
And I think a human in the loop is not even… is not enough for AI and creative works.
Daniel CroftHOST
3:17

Daniel CroftHOST
4:42
But Australia, with the regulations we have and the laws we have regarding AI copyright and stuff, it's some of the best in the world.
Daniel CroftHOST

How do I deal with change? How do I deal with being confronted? How do I deal with conflict, with people not liking me, with people criticizing me, with my own self-criticism that's coming up in the writing or in the filming of the whatever? How do I deal with that? That's the real challenge, and that's why there's so many ups and downs, and that's why we don't know where anything is going to go.
Mandy TangHOST
