Can a machine create art? Should it? And if it does, who owns it?

In this episode, I sit down with Andres—creative technologist, founder of Red Mage, and advocate for equitable AI—to tackle one of the most controversial conversations in tech right now: AI's role in creative industries.

What we discuss:

✅ How generative AI has transformed creativity in just two years

✅ The copyright battleground: Should AI companies compensate artists?

✅ Authenticity vs. automation: Does the creative process matter?

✅ What AI fundamentally CANNOT replicate about human creativity

✅ The displacement reality: Are creative professionals being replaced?

✅ AI as collaborator vs. competition: Success stories and cautionary tales

✅ Democratization or devaluation? The debate over accessible creative tools

✅ Maintaining quality when the internet is flooded with AI content

✅ Ethical concerns beyond copyright: deepfakes, cultural appropriation, environmental costs

✅ The future landscape: Will "human-made" labels matter in 2029?
