1
00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:02.200
So the first question is,
2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.000
as you look at the present era,
3
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.950
was there ever a moment when you thought
4
00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:12.000
this is truly a new kind of movement or a completely new flaw?
5
00:00:13.501 --> 00:00:16.201
I think that,
6
00:00:17.151 --> 00:00:20.351
yeah, we first saw ChatGPT come out
7
00:00:20.351 --> 00:00:22.891
and saw the functionality there,
8
00:00:25.421 --> 00:00:31.091
We all heard, read, thought about AI for many many years.
9
00:00:31.091 --> 00:00:35.741
But ChatGPT came out in what? November 2023.
10
00:00:35.741 --> 00:00:38.391
That was really a game changer in terms of,
11
00:00:38.391 --> 00:00:42.791
wow, this is something that can really do these things?
12
00:00:42.791 --> 00:00:47.841
And, you know, the technology, the functionality,
13
00:00:47.841 --> 00:00:52.000
the number of companies has only since taken off exponentially since then
14
00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.950
So the next question is,
15
00:00:59.950 --> 00:01:02.600
whether it's technology or art,
16
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.450
people often say that at the center of it all is a human being.
17
00:01:07.450 --> 00:01:12.000
So for you, what kind of thought or feeling lies at the core of your work?
18
00:01:12.605 --> 00:01:16.955
I think that what lies at the core of my work
19
00:01:16.955 --> 00:01:19.715
or what I've done with South by Southwest
20
00:01:19.715 --> 00:01:21.885
or what South by Southwest has done is
21
00:01:22.155 --> 00:01:25.755
this belief in human creativity
22
00:01:25.755 --> 00:01:28.705
and how it can manifest in so many different ways.
23
00:01:28.705 --> 00:01:32.455
I mean, that's what we celebrate at South by Southwest, that
24
00:01:32.455 --> 00:01:37.250
humans are the most creative things out there, even more creative than AI
25
00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:46.150
And I think that the importance of human creativity is only going to become
26
00:01:47.750 --> 00:01:50.850
something that we focus on more in the coming years
27
00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:56.300
as AI continues to do more kind of mundane things
28
00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:59.500
and humans can focus on more creative things,
29
00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:02.250
or at least that's the best case scenario here
30
00:02:03.650 --> 00:02:09.000
Looking back, was there a moment or project that shaped who you are today?
31
00:02:09.633 --> 00:02:12.973
Was there a moment or a project that shaped who I am?
32
00:02:15.273 --> 00:02:22.123
I think that just seeing, being part of South by Southwest
33
00:02:22.123 --> 00:02:26.263
having people come up to me and talk about how important an event it was,
34
00:02:26.263 --> 00:02:28.263
that was always my dopamine
35
00:02:28.263 --> 00:02:31.713
To know that you had, or to think that you had some
36
00:02:31.713 --> 00:02:36.103
small impact on people's lives, on incredibly creative people's lives.
37
00:02:36.103 --> 00:02:39.853
And the more I experienced that, the more I wanted to experience that
38
00:02:39.853 --> 00:02:44.053
and continue to create that kind of a platform
39
00:02:44.053 --> 00:02:50.453
where people could come together, find new opportunities, find new ideas, find inspiration.
40
00:02:50.453 --> 00:02:52.550
Again, that to me is incredibly powerful
41
00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:59.650
As AI and humans create together, and as technology and emotion intertwine,
42
00:02:59.650 --> 00:03:05.550
how do you think the content industry or the creative stage will evolve?
43
00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:10.450
And within that, what role do you think humans will play?
44
00:03:11.937 --> 00:03:19.777
I hope that humans will always be the guiders of this technology, the masters of this technology,
45
00:03:19.777 --> 00:03:23.337
as opposed to the technology becoming more important than the humans
46
00:03:24.088 --> 00:03:27.838
In our best case scenarios on AI, I think that
47
00:03:29.488 --> 00:03:33.888
we use the technology to do kind of the again the
48
00:03:33.888 --> 00:03:41.367
rote mundane stuff that that takes a lot of hours but doesn't take a whole lot of skill
49
00:03:41.367 --> 00:03:46.168
and that empowers humans to be even more creative than they are now
50
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:49.400
What I don't hope is that
51
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.050
we begin to get more lazy and realize that if AI can do this stuff,
52
00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:55.950
then why do we need to even do anything?
53
00:03:55.950 --> 00:04:00.700
And that then becomes or is a kind of
54
00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:04.950
swift journey to the end of human creativity,
55
00:04:04.950 --> 00:04:08.000
and that's something that I don't think any of us want to see
56
00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:10.400
Last question.
57
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.100
If you could leave one sentence for the people here today or the future creatives,
58
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.600
what would it be?
59
00:04:18.441 --> 00:04:22.641
My one sentence for future creatives is
60
00:04:23.691 --> 00:04:26.791
everyone is creative in their own way
61
00:04:28.241 --> 00:04:30.441
It's not that I'm more creative than anyone here
62
00:04:30.441 --> 00:04:32.591
It's not that you're more creative than anyone here
63
00:04:32.591 --> 00:04:37.300
It's just maybe you or I have tapped into it faster, sooner than others
64
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:39.950
But we all have creativity.
65
00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:42.850
That is a central part of our humanity
66
00:04:42.850 --> 00:04:47.050
and encourage everyone to explore that creativity
67
00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:49.000
