Greg shares how he uses AI to generate plot ideas, refine language, and get feedback while keeping the soul of storytelling intact.Together, they explore why dystopian fiction often outshines utopian storytelling, and how AI might reshape the future of books, film, and entertainment. Could AI-generated art democratize creativity—or just flood the world with formulaic content?We cover:- How writers can use AI tools for brainstorming, editing, and worldbuilding- Why human emotion and personal voice are still irreplaceable- The storytelling tension between utopia and dystopia- How AI might transform filmmaking, acting, and creative industries- The importance of the humanities in an AI-driven future- Why emotion, perspective, and imperfection are the true markers of human artGreg’s take is both practical and philosophical—AI can be a powerful creative ally, but only if we remember what makes art human.If you’re interested in AI and creativity, writing, or the future of storytelling, this episode is a must-listen.
