For our Halloween finale, Carolyn Ford (https://dgshow.org/guests/cford) invites two favorite “AI conjurers”, Dave Egts (https://dgshow.org/hosts/dave) “Mr. X,” public-sector field CTO at Mulesoft, and Laura Klebanow, founder & chief storyteller at Show & Tell, into the Tech Transforms cauldron. Each brings a “secret AI ingredient”: Carolyn composes whimsical Suno-generated theme music (after a prompt-crafting detour through ChatGPT), Laura pushes image creation and Gemini’s career-planner for playful, practical use, and Dave reimagines Gemini’s children’s-storybook gem to craft customer-hero narratives, plus a Scooby-Doo-style Tech Transforms tale.
Then we stir in the shadows: misinformation at scale, AI “rights,” bioethics (organoids/bodyoids), job disruption vs. reskilling, and how creativity can demystify AI without sugarcoating risks. The trio closes with rapid-fire “treats & tricks,” classroom-to-boardroom starter tips (talk with AI, don’t just query it; red-team your ideas), and a reminder to “find your beautiful” use the tools to clear the junk so humans can do what only humans do.
Brewed takeaways:
* Prompt craft matters; collaborate across tools (Suno, Gemini, ChatGPT).
* Creative play ≠ fluff: it’s a safe on-ramp to literacy and adoption.
* AI will change jobs; map “jobs to be done,” automate the rote, upskill the rest.
* Ethics aren’t optional: teach harm awareness early (mis/dis/malinformation, bullying).
* Start small today: keep a running dialogue with AI and build a personal “advisory board” of model personas.
