In this episode of The Intersect, Chelsea and Georgia dive into Issue 66 of the newsletter, exploring the evolving landscape of creative practice in 2025. They discuss groundbreaking findings from LANDR's survey revealing that 87% of musicians globally are now using AI in their workflows, primarily for production and promotion rather than pure generation. The conversation covers Adobe's new Firefly text-prompt video editing tools, which enhance existing footage rather than creating from scratch, and Louis Bury's provocative concept of "digital folk art" encompassing everything from Skibidi toilet videos to meme culture. They examine the U.S. Copyright Office's ruling that purely AI-generated work cannot be copyrighted, protecting the human element in creativity. The hosts also discuss Caroline Dewison's intricate miniature dioramas that are so perfect people assume they're AI-generated, highlighting our shifted baseline for astonishment. The episode touches on the absurdity of Marco Rubio's Calibri font ban at the State Department and Adobe's Content Authenticity Initiative for AI transparency. Throughout, Chelsea and Georgia emphasize the importance of understanding the reciprocal relationship between art and technology, where technologists who grasp artistic principles build more human-centered products, and artists who understand technical tools expand their creative possibilities.
