Artists are understandably worried about being replaced by AI, but the real threat isn’t artificial intelligence, it’s your fear of your own idiosyncrasies. In this meditation on rigor, imitation, and presence, Mikaal dissects the quiet resistance we build against our most original selves. From Move 37 and James Brown to Elmyr de Hory and Spike Lee, this episode is a manifesto for artists ready to transcend the algorithm, not by competing with it, but by daring to be unmistakably human. Creativity isn't solvable.
