- This podcast has lost all credibility
I was absolutely shocked to listen to the latest podcast. Using AI in any form as an artist is completely unethical and I’m horrified that you are encouraging the use of a cognitive decline machine, built on the theft of creatives to enrich billionaires. Not to mention the environmental impacts and waste of resources. Normalising the use of ai in this manner is disgusting. As someone with a large platform you have a responsibility to maintain ethical standards and this is truly shameful.

This was the most exciting podcast that I have listened to in a while. I feel excited and energised and am driven to increase my efforts to help the sceptics see how important creativity is not just on a personal level but for communities locally and globally. I’ve already listened twice and am storing this podcast for a third listening when I need a creative boost. Thanks so much.
