Why Trust Matters More Than Detection in the Age of AI with Jeremy Carrasco

Transparency around your AI workflow and protecting your creative voice with Jeremy Carrasco from Jeremy Finds AI.  \----- Welcome to episode 585 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Jeremy Carrasco, the creator behind Jeremy Finds AI and founder of Riddance.  ## Why Trust Matters More Than Detection in the Age of AI with Jeremy Carrasco Pop quiz! Can you actually spot AI-generated content if you saw it? Jeremy's background in live streaming, encoding, and video production gave him an early edge in identifying synthetic content, but as AI videos get more realistic, he explains why that edge is disappearing fast, and why the old advice to simply "train your eye" isn't enough anymore. In this episode, Jeremy makes the case that the real question isn't "can you spot AI?" but "do you trust the source?" He and Bjork get into the difference between acceptable and deceptive AI use, why disclosing your AI workflow might actually build more trust with your audience, and what "human-forward" creation looks like in an increasingly synthetic feed. Jeremy also shares candidly how he uses AI in his own work, and why he refuses to let it touch his creative edge. If you create content in *any* capacity, this conversation gives you a clear-eyed look at where trust is headed next and what it'll take to hold onto yours. ## Three episode takeaways: - **Spotting AI is basically a coin flip now:** The days of "train your eye to catch AI" are over — content's gotten too realistic, and platform algorithms make it even trickier to know what's real. Trust in the source matters way more than trying to detect fakes. - **There's a real difference between using AI and hiding AI:** Being upfront about your AI workflow can actually build more trust with your audience, not less. It's not about ditching the tools — it's about being honest when you use them. - **The smartest move right now is doubling down on being human:** As AI gets faster and cheaper, the creators who protect their creative voice and stay unmistakably them are the ones who'll stand out in an increasingly synthetic feed. **Resources:** - Jeremy Finds AI - Riddance - [Lion's Den](URL) - YouTube channel: RocketJump - Zach King's YouTube channel - YouTube star Hank Green apologizes for ChatGPT overuse after fans accuse him of including a prompt by mistake — Fortune - Patreon - [Substack](URL) - YouTube short from Jeremy Finds AI: This political influencer isn't real - Why Nobody Can Stop AI Art Scams — Jeremy Finds AI on YouTube - Join the Food Blogger Pro Podcast Facebook Group ## Thank you to our sponsors!
