    Creatives: AI, Bland Brands, and the Art of Asking Better Questions with Michael Cawley

    In this thought-provoking episode of Creatives WithAI, host Lena Robinson sits down with Product Discovery Expert Michael Cawley to explore the intersection of AI, creativity, and user experience. With a background spanning graphic design, marketing, and UX, Michael brings a unique perspective on how AI is reshaping creative workflows, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. The conversation dives into the real impact of AI on creative industries, questioning whether it's actually freeing up time for deeper thinking or simply accelerating a cycle of endless production. Michael shares insights from nearly two decades of working in UX and product discovery, explaining why data alone isn't enough and why asking 'Why? is still the most important question in user research. Lena and Michael discuss the rise of "bland" AI-generated content, the growing fetishisation of data, and the critical role human intuition plays in crafting meaningful user experiences. They also debate whether AI will ultimately serve as a tool for efficiency or dilute originality in creative work. With fascinating detours into brand identity, the evolution of chatbot UX, and even the unexpected role of AI in corporate decision-making, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-driven creativity. Find out why Michael believes quality over speed should always win, and why, in an AI-powered world, admitting "I don’t know" might just be the most valuable answer of all.

    Creatives: René Gruss: Music, AI & The Power of Instinct

    In this episode of Creatives with AI, host Lena Robinson sits down with composer, environmentalist, and humanitarian René Gruss. A proud Kiwi living here in the UK, René has carved a unique path in the world of classical music, earning international recognition, including a nod from Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, who called his album Bellatrix “stunning.” But beyond his accolades, René is on a mission: to create music that fosters change, well-being, and a deeper connection to the world around us. As AI continues to reshape creative industries, René offers a fascinating counterpoint: for him, music is instinctual, human, and deeply personal, elements he believes AI can never replicate. While he acknowledges AI’s usefulness in administration and production, he argues that true musical expression remains firmly in the hands of humans. His insights challenge the current AI-driven narrative, offering a refreshing perspective on the irreplaceable value of human creativity. The conversation takes a deep dive into the collapse of the traditional record industry, the exploitative nature of streaming platforms, and how blockchain and AI could help rebuild a more sustainable, artist-centric music ecosystem. René also introduces his latest project, 'Reflections and Connections', designed to help people reconnect with themselves and the natural world through music. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of creativity, technology, and the fight for artistic integrity in the age of AI.
