AI as the Creative Intern: How Designers and Writers Are Using AI

About The Episode:

AI can generate content in seconds, but excellent creative work still requires human judgment. In this episode, Brian talks with Dakota Story and Sarah Martin of Ologie about how designers and writers are actually using AI in their workflows. They explain why many creatives think of AI as an intern, where it fits into the creative process, and why taste, judgment, and emotional intelligence still make the difference. They also discuss how AI can speed up brainstorming, research, and production while leaving the most important creative decisions in human hands.
