Grateful Dead fans, lovers of lyrics, and those curious about A.I.'s interpretation of art, you’re in for a treat because today’s episode invites you to explore human intelligence versus artificial intelligence through the analysis of the Grateful Dead song "Ripple" with Creativity Squared resident writer and philosopher, Jason Schneider.  From reciting poems to thinking deeply about consciousness and art, Jason is a true modern-day Renaissance man with passions that include photography, motorcycles, poetry, music, and philosophy. A self-admitted life-long Leica maniac, Jason is also a camera collector, fine art photographer, writer, and photojournalist. He is currently writing a book with the working title “Understanding Emily Dickinson: A Reader’s Guide To The Enlightened Master.” In our conversation, we discuss this piece where he compares his human analysis of this transcendent song based on the poem by Robert Hunter to ChatGPT's. Jason then put the article through ChatGPT for an opinion piece on the full article while the team did the same with NotebookLM, which gets meta quicker than a ChatGPT-prompted answer! And it wouldn’t be a conversation with Jason without some Emily Dickinson either, and you won’t want to miss how Jason sees the Grateful Dead and the poet’s similarities.  Discover why “Ripple” remains a timeless meditation on life’s most profound questions, including the limitations of human consciousness itself — enjoy!  EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep72-jason-schneider-a-i-the-grateful-dead JOIN CREATIVITY SQUARED Sign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter  Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters  SUBSCRIBE Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1 CONNECT with C^2 https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcast https://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcast https://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquared https://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquared https://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast #CreativitySquared CONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2 https://instagram.com/helenstravels https://twitter.com/helenstravels https://linkedin.com/in/helentodd https://pinterest.com/helentodd Creativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform.  Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates will go to ArtsWave, a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 100 arts organizations.
