AI Images Changed Everything: The Creative Economy Is Just Beginning

Most people think AI is killing creativity. I think it’s doing the opposite.

In this episode, I explore ChatGPT’s new image generation features and why it’s sparking panic in the design world. From Studio Ghibli-style portraits to South Park selfies, the line between inspiration and copyright violation is getting blurry fast. But here’s the twist: I believe we’re entering a new golden age of creativity.

In this episode, I break down:

  • What’s actually possible with the new AI image tools (and what blew my mind)
  • Why the Studio Ghibli backlash is bigger than just style theft
  • The four types of copyright risk when using AI-generated art
  • Why creativity still matters—and might matter more than ever
  • How the “final economy” could be built on stories, art, and human expression

If you’ve been worried AI is replacing creative work, this episode offers a different perspective. The tools are powerful—but the story is still ours to tell.
