About this episode

Carley Zuercher discusses her relationship with AI, including its ethical implications and its impact on artists.

I'm getting honest about my relationship with AI — how I actually use it, where I draw hard lines, and why this conversation matters so much to me as a coach to artists. I cover why I switched from ChatGPT to Claude, what finally pushed me to make the move, and why I think it's the superior product ethically and functionally. I also come clean about Grammarly — spoiler, I didn't even know it was AI until I looked it up writing this episode. We get into the big stuff too: Disney firing 1,000 artists after using their work to train AI, the ethics of scaling a business entirely on AI agents, and why I'm unwilling to make "fuck you money" without paying people. Plus a note for artists on why your value has actually increased in the age of AI slop. And yes, there's a story about mud pies. You'll see why it fits. https://www.twocanco.com/aoe-mastermind https://www.twocanco.com/power-play
