This is the final episode in the Still Human series on Through the Mental Lens. In Part 3: Embracing Humanity in an AI World, Chris takes a direct look at artificial intelligence — its power, its pitfalls, and what it means for our creativity and identity.

You’ll hear:

• A personal story of how AI unlocked a long-stalled creative project and why that was both exciting and unsettling
• Why AI can be a powerful co-pilot but a terrible compass
• The hidden cost of skipping the creative struggle with AI “shortcuts”
• Three practical ways to protect your voice and keep the human at the center of your work
• A reflection exercise to help you identify the parts of your life and creativity that should remain fully human

AI can speed us up, but it can’t give us meaning. Holding on to our quirks, reflections, and struggles is what keeps us truly human.
