Our CEO, David Hunter, spoke with DeAnna Poole of WJET/WFXP for a story on how Erie's artists and designers are handling the rise of AI-generated graphics in design and marketing. The segment aired November 5.

Dave's take: badly made AI content isn't hard to recognize. "You can spot it a mile away," he said, and he sees it in his inbox and his feeds every day. He also said AI can help creative people work faster when a person is overseeing it. What it can't supply by itself is the creative judgment and care for small details that good design depends on.

The story also features Benton Bainbridge, founder of the FEED Art Center. He said his concern is with the tech platforms pushing AI, not the small businesses using free tools to get the word out. He encouraged people who are able to support human artists directly.

If you're using AI to help write your own website, Edition 40 of Epic Insights covers what to check before it goes live.
