On the latest episode of the Alan Smithee podcast, recorded shortly after NAB New York, hosts Scott Simmons, Katie Hinsen & Michael Kammes talk about the news and happenings coming out of the event as well as how using AI in production is actually creating jobs, the pending sale of Warner Bros and the ramifications of user generated content.

Their deeper discussion around where AI is at and where it’s going highlights a critical issue for creative professionals. They discuss the distinction between AI as a creative tool and “AI slop,” warning against simplistic “make a movie button” approaches that neglect artistic skill and craftsmanship. The production of the Wizard of Oz experience at The Sphere was called out as an example of responsible, AI-augmented creativity that requires substantial human expertise.

The episode wraps up with some lighter reflections on Halloween technology displays and recommendations for productivity tools.
