🎯 聽之前

Kelly A. Boesch argues that AI did not replace her creativity. It removed some of the friction, and the human job became direction, taste, and knowing what the picture is for.

What did the tool speed up, and what did it not decide?
How does she talk about authorship when a machine helps?
What fear does she name, and how does she answer it?
Listen for "instead of" and "so that."
