Episode 47: Sophie McKeand (Part 2) - CopyLeft Publishing, Generative AI, and the Importance of Poetic Vision to Society

In the conclusion to the 2-part interview with Sophie McKeand we chat about CopyLeft publishing, the use of generative AI in the creative fields, and the importance of the poetic mind. We also discuss generational acceptance of AI, generative AI as a window into the human mind, and what should be considered in a test for self-awareness.

There are also The Lightning Round and The Big Questions.

Books of hers we discuss are: The MthR trilogy.
