Eugene and Stephanie talk about why they don’t use AI in their creative work, how AI has changed the notion of ownership, but not the fact that people who claim other artist’s work as their own should be roundly shamed and wonder if someone in the future is going to be surprised that writers like Eugene and Stephanie actually wrote their own s**t, from scratch, without AI?

From the Colson Whitehead article in the NYTimes

Art is the business of making up stuff — go make up some stuff.”The Bad Boss Brief is a viewer-supported broadcast. To receive new episodes and support our work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.
