From Studio Ghibli-style AI art that broke ChatGPT to fashion models being cloned—and owned—by AI, this episode dives into the wild ethical frontier of generative tech. Sandy Carter joins to explore what we’re getting right, what we’re missing, and how to stay human in an AI-first world.

In this powerful episode, Shira Lazar is joined by Sandy Carter (COO of Unstoppable Domains) and co-host Nadia G. to explore some of the biggest—and most personal—questions in AI today.

From the backlash over ChatGPT’s Studio Ghibli-inspired art to H&M’s digital clones to Apple’s rumored AI health coach, the trio digs into what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world.

🔹 Is AI stealing creativity—or just remixing it?
🔹 Can digital clones empower creators—or exploit them?
🔹 Will AI help us live better—or track us harder?
🔹 Are we teaching kids to think critically—or just prompt faster?

This episode blends ethics, innovation, emotion, and real-world tools for navigating the future of AI—with humanity at the center.
