Michael Harper x The Story Lens Talks

The more AI creates... the more human creativity stands out. That might sound backwards. But after talking with designer, illustrator and children's author Michael Harper on the latest episode of The Story Lens Talks, it makes perfect sense. Michael isn't anti-AI. Far from it. He uses AI. It helps him explore ideas, speed up parts of his workflow and get past creative blocks. But "You walk away knowing I haven't done this... but I'm owning it. It's not yours." Because that's the question more creatives are starting to ask. Just because AI can make something, does that make it your work? When AI-generated content is everywhere, people start looking for proof there's an actual human behind the business. Someone with experience. Values. A point of view. That's where AI and creativity become really interesting. The winners won't be the people using the most AI. They'll be the people using AI tools for creators without losing their own voice. Creative thinking with AI is a skill. Creative authenticity is the advantage. And human-centred creativity? That might become the thing audiences value most.   / michaellharper   https://www.michaellharper.com/
