NaPodPoMo 2025 Episode #14 – Nov. 14, 2025

Published on: 14th November, 2025

In this episode of Randy Unscripted, I share insights from Dr. Craig Vanslyke’s PodIndy 2025 presentation on how creators can work with artificial intelligence without losing their humanity. Craig reminded us that “AI isn’t hard — it’s human,” and that learning to think clearly about what we want to create is more important than mastering technical details. He explored how curiosity, experimentation, and reflection are the keys to using AI well, encouraging us to see the technology as a creative partner rather than a threat. I reflect on the wisdom he offered and what it means for those of us balancing faith, technology, and creativity.
