Is AI Making Us Less Creative?

AI is changing the way we create, but is that always a good thing?

Fiction writer, editor, and YouTube creator Kieren Westwood is back for a conversation about AI, creativity, and what we risk losing when we become obsessed with making everything faster and easier.

We talk about where AI might belong in the writing process, why struggling through the work matters, and the danger of outsourcing the very skills we're trying to develop. But our conversation goes beyond AI. We explore our culture's addiction to consuming content, the pressure to optimize everything, the value of slowing down, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop scrolling and create something instead.

Kieren also shares what he’s learning from building a community for writers and why finding your own way of creating matters more than following someone else’s formula.
