Listen to “KITT to Gemini: How AI is Rewriting the Rules of Creativity (and What Humans Still Do Best)” on Spreaker.Key Highlights:
- Nostalgia Meets Innovation: Jikū traces AI’s cultural roots, from Knight Rider’s KITT to Transformers’ sentient robots, arguing these narratives shaped today’s ethical debates. “KITT wasn’t just a car—it was a blueprint for human-AI trust,” he notes.
- Creative Amplification, Not Replacement: Li highlights HAKEYM.com’s unique workflow—raw podcast recordings, AI-aided transcription, and DeepSeek summaries—as a model for collaboration. “AI streamlines logistics, but human spontaneity drives stories,” she says.
- Ethical Guardrails: The duo critiques AI’s persistent biases (e.g., image generators favoring stereotypes) and praises transparency in tools like Gemini’s research summaries.
What Humans Still Do Best:
While AI accelerates tasks like data analysis, the Deep Dive underscores human strengths: emotional storytelling, ethical judgment, and the “messy genius” of unscripted creativity—evident in HAKEYM’s unedited sci-fi audio dramas.
