🎨 Creativity in the Age of AI: Who Gets to Be an Artist Now?

In this episode of Brainwaves, we dive deep into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Can a machine really make art? What happens when algorithms start writing music, painting portraits, and mimicking voices? And in a world of flawless imitation, where does that leave us — the messy, emotional, beautifully imperfect creators? Host Leigh explores the rise of generative AI in the arts, the fears and hopes it brings, and what it truly means to be creative in a machine-assisted world. This isn’t just about technology, it’s about identity, emotion, and the soul of storytelling. Whether you’re an artist, a techie, or just someone wondering what’s real anymore… this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in to rethink what it means to make something meaningful , when anyone, or anything, can make anything. 00:00 Intro 00:01 Second 00:02 Third Learn more about your ad choices.

AI at Work: Colleague, Competitor, or Coffee Machine?

In this episode of Brainwaves, Leigh—your favorite adviser by day, curiosity crusader by night—dives into the buzzing world of AI in the workplace. From email-slaying bots to bias-burdened algorithms, we unpack the real impact of artificial intelligence on how we work, what we do, and what might be quietly disappearing from our job descriptions. Is AI here to make your 9-to-5 easier? Or is it quietly eyeing your swivel chair? Leigh explores both the hype and the hard truths, with real-world stories, a healthy dose of skepticism, and maybe a few robot jokes. Tune in for a candid, clever conversation about where AI fits in the workplace—and whether it deserves a desk next to yours. Learn more about your ad choices.
