EP353 | Will I Survive the AI Revolution? (w/ FILMCRUX)
Are you going to survive AI? As this technology evolves at a nightmare pace, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Will I still have a job? Can I make money as an artist? Will I ever make another film? While the big conversations revolve around copyright and originality, it’s hard not to feel like that heat is being stoked by the companies with the most to lose.What many creatives are really wondering is: Can I trust clients who are already slashing budgets to keep hiring actual humans?Today’s episode kicks off from a spark on Instagram. After host Mike Pecci shared his thoughts on using generative AI, the comment section blew up. One voice stood out—FILMCRUX, run by Lion El Aton, who had strong opinions on how AI is being used and its value to young filmmakers. Instead of arguing online, Mike invited him on the show.What followed is a raw, honest, and sometimes heated conversation about AI, the future of creativity, and the very real fear artists are feeling right now. But it’s not all fire and debate—this episode ends on something rare: common ground, hope, and real ideas for how to move forward in an uncertain world.This one’s for anyone feeling confused, scared, or fired up. Let’s talk about it.►FILMCRUX IG► Mike's IG ► ILWP's IG Music by: Code Elektro & Mitch Murder——SPONSORS——► FujiFilm► Puget Systems► Blackmagic Design Hosted on Acast.
