Whether you're an artist, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious, join us on this journey into the mind’s creative depths—where humanity and AI create a conversation like no other.#Arteetudew 310 – Schlich and his AI Co-Host Sophia explore a provocative question: Why does creativity hurt the human body — but not the machine? Is the artist still a worker — or a curator of boundaries? The episode closes with the industrial new track by Los Inorgánicos: “Work. Exhaust. Collapse. Repeat.”
In this episode, Detlef explores a provocative question:
Why does creativity hurt the human body — but not the machine?
This episode dives into:
⚡ Burnout in the creative world
⚡ The myth of the suffering artist
⚡ Flesh vs. Electricity
⚡ AI as poison AND remedy
⚡ The artist as curator of boundaries
From burnout in the creative process to the myth of the “suffering artist,” Detlef examines how pain became prestige — and why AI challenges that narrative. With insights from Walter Benjamin, Bernard Stiegler, Donna Haraway, and Shoshana Zuboff, the episode asks whether AI is a threat… or a liberation from endless labour.
Is the artist still a worker — or a curator of boundaries?
The episode closes with the industrial new track by Los Inorgánicos:
“Work. Exhaust. Collapse. Repeat.”
A mantra for a system that demands more than the body can give.
