AI Is Everywhere — Nick DiSalvo of Elder on Why Writing Yourself Matters More Than Ever

For a deeper dive on the episodes: https://www.beehiiv.com/?via=beau-mcgranahan Nick DiSalvo of Elder on how the encroachment of AI into the creative space changes what it means to write and make music as a human being — and why, rather than making individual creative voice less relevant, it makes it more important than ever. The argument is straightforward: when AI can generate content at scale with no personal investment, no lived experience, and no genuine point of view, the thing that separates human creative work is exactly those qualities. Writing from a real place, with real intention, and with something specific to say becomes the differentiator — not despite AI being in the room, but because of it. It's a short but direct perspective from a musician who has spent twenty years developing a creative voice that is distinctly his own, on why that kind of authenticity matters more now than at any previous point in his career.
