Summary
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/1jTkmfAQ9SI We live amid tribal AI arguments: every machine-made frame is "slop," or every model is just a new paintbrush. This Mythic Mind conversation slows down between those poles with a technologist and a novelist. Dr. Andrew Snyder (professor of philosophy and theology) is joined by Josh Daws (former Disney software engineer; VP of Technology at The Blaze) and novelist Michael Kane (After Moses) to ask what AI-generated media can and cannot bear as storytelling, and what remains properly human when prediction scales into myth-shaped output. Topics include creativity and collaboration with tools, the temptation of knee-jerk culture-war takes, and how authors and audiences might keep soul in an age of autocomplete.
