Is ChatGPT Killing Your Creativity?

"A creative assistant" is a common label many podcasters assign to LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude. There's no getting around it; these tools are incredibly powerful. But what hidden cost do we pay if we outsource cognitive practices like writing and idea development?

In the fitness world, "use it or lose it" is a much-repeated phrase about muscle, and it might be time to treat our brains in the same way. LLMs can help you create more and do it faster. But if you want to create something truly valuable (and retain the ability to do so again in the future), it might be time to slow down, to worry less about quantity, and focus on quality.

• For podcasters, listening is a more important skill than speaking
• Growth is overrated
• You should NEVER interrupt your guests
