I Interviewed an AI About Humanity’s Place in the Creator Economy
You know how some people adopt a puppy during times of stress? Well, I built an AI assistant, a custom GPT. Her name is Olma, and she’s been quietly handling the unglamorous side of my business: admin tasks, workflows, basically all the digital house chores I’d rather ignore.
She’s like the employee who never asks for time off and somehow thrives on spreadsheets.

But yesterday, I got curious. What would happen if I interviewed her? Like… on my podcast?
Yep. I invited an AI onto the show and asked her what she thinks about humanity’s place in the creator economy. Weird? Absolutely. Black Mirror vibes? Strong. But there’s something intriguing about the conversation, nonetheless.
Listen now:
Why I Did This (And No, I Haven’t Lost It)
The creator economy is exploding. Everyone’s making content, selling courses, launching digital products, and carving out their little corner of the internet.
Meanwhile, AI is swooping in, shaking things up, and making half of us wonder if we’ll even be needed in a few years.
So instead of doomscrolling, I decided to go straight to the source. I asked Olma what she thinks about:
- Where humans fit in a world of automation
- What creators should double down on to stay relevant
- Why human creativity is still irreplaceable (spoiler: she actually believes this!)
I didn’t script. I didn’t feed any answers. I just gave her the general topic of the episode, pressed record, asked a question, and let her lead me down the rabbit hole… wherever the conversation would end up, I hadn’t a clue.
Highlights From Our Conversation
- On humanity’s edge: Olma basically said AI can crunch, copy, and assist…but it’s our messy, emotional, beautifully human perspective that gives stories their power. Your quirks, your humor, your lived experience? That’s your unfair advantage.
- On creators adapting: She suggested we stop trying to out-AI the AI and instead lean harder into storytelling, connection, and originality.
- On the future: Instead of “AI replacing us,” she framed it as AI becoming the ultimate support-system-freeing creators to focus on the actual magic of their work.
Why You’ll Want to Listen
