Unprompted Insights: Conversations in AI

Umony Season 1 Episode 2

In this forward-looking conversation, Umony CEO Dean Elwood sits down with CTO Alan Charbonneau to explore how large language models (LLMs) are reshaping how we think about intelligence, agency and creativity.

From early “magic moments” in autocomplete to AI’s role as research assistant, creative partner and code generator, they reflect on the speed of innovation, the future of programming and what real-world AGI might look like.

They also discuss what sets human creativity apart, and whether AI can (or should) develop taste, agency and originality.
