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.
Margo’s collection of interviews is a masterpiece! Listening to them is inspiring. I enjoy how Margo supports and encourages her guests as she brings out the best of their knowledge and experiences to share with the rest of us. I appreciate the work of this very genuine host.
Your show has a lovely authenticity that plops the listener right into the conversation. I particularly enjoyed listening to your recent episode with the fabulous Ashley Lohr. Tenacity and flexibility are key to making a creative life that looks like you wish.
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.
I’ve been listening to Windowsill Chats for a few years now as I’ve been working on finding my place in the creative space, and Margo and her guests always offer hope, inspiration, encouragement and a safe place when I need it most. Thank you so much for creating this comforting space and for sharing your experiences with all of us ❤️
