🎙️ Episode 029: The AI Inflection Point – When We Stop Noticing

Podcast: AI for the Creative Mind

Hosted by: Steve Albanese with co-host Nova Sage

When does AI shift from novelty to normalcy? In this episode, Steve and Nova explore the AI inflection point—that moment when audiences stop asking “Was this made by AI?” and simply enjoy the content.

From Google’s Veo 3 to OpenAI’s Sora 2, new multimodal tools are blurring the line between human and machine-made media. What once required stitching visuals and audio together can now be generated in a single pass—complete with synchronized dialogue, ambient sound, and cinematic effects. But with these leaps come new questions: about cost, access, authenticity, and the human spark we still crave in live performance.

Along the way, Steve shares why Tom Cruise hanging off a real airplane reminds us what can’t be replaced, and Nova dives into how multimodal inputs and real-time avatars could shape storytelling—and risk misuse.

This is an episode about crossing thresholds, embracing opportunity, and remembering what makes creativity human.
