Why human connection beats AI perfection with Leah Stanistreet

AI can do it all... So why, when we can use it to produce our next LinkedIn headshot, or our next blog post or our next stock image, would we ever need to invest in photography, content writing or anything creative again? It's a great question and one I think is going to come up more and more.

The temptation to get AI to do it quickly and make us look perfect is hard to resist, but why and how can it damage our brand long term?

I have my good mate, all-round legend and podcast producer Leah Stanistreet, join us to discuss just this...

In a world where it is easier than ever to be perfect, is perfect actually still the goal?

In this episode, we delve into the crucial topic of AI's role in photography and content creation. We discuss the noticeable differences between AI-generated content and content created by real people. Leah and I talk about how AI can strip away the human elements that make stories and visuals compelling and relatable. We touch on the importance of capturing authentic moments, whether through brand photos, podcasts, or videos, and why the human element should never be completely removed from creative processes.

We also explore the new trend of content curation. With so much content flooding the market, the challenge now is to curate high-quality, meaningful content that stands out. Leah offers her perspective on why balancing AI tools with human creativity is essential for producing truly impactful content.

We hope our discussion inspires you to rethink how you approach content creation and encourages you to keep the human touch at the forefront of your efforts.
