Make Art & Die

In today’s episode, Quinn and Ross sit down to talk about AI and how it’s changing the creative landscape. They discuss the difference between using it well vs carelessly, whether it’s ruining or revolutionizing art, and how artists can actually use AI to sharpen their storytelling, content strategy, and brand identity without losing their humanity.
