Each brings a “secret AI ingredient”: Carolyn composes whimsical Suno-generated theme music (after a prompt-crafting detour through ChatGPT), Laura pushes image creation and Gemini’s career-planner for playful, practical use, and Dave reimagines Gemini’s children’s-storybook gem to craft customer-hero narratives, plus a Scooby-Doo-style Tech Transforms tale. Then we stir in the shadows: misinformation at scale, AI “rights,” bioethics (organoids/bodyoids), job disruption vs. reskilling, and how creativity can demystify AI without sugarcoating risks. The trio closes with rapid-fire “treats & tricks,” classroom-to-boardroom starter tips (talk with AI, don’t just query it; red-team your ideas), and a reminder to “find your beautiful” use the tools to clear the junk so humans can do what only humans do. Brewed takeaways: * Prompt craft matters; collaborate across tools (Suno, Gemini, ChatGPT). * Creative play ≠ fluff: it’s a safe on-ramp to literacy and adoption. * AI will change jobs; map “jobs to be done,” automate the rote, upskill the rest. * Ethics aren’t optional: teach harm awareness early (mis/dis/malinformation, bullying). * Start small today: keep a running dialogue with AI and build a personal “advisory board” of model personas. Show links: * Laura Klebanow: Email (mailto:laura@showtell.io) and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauraklebanow/) * Suno (https://suno.com/) * Carolyn's storybook (https://g.co/gemini/share/56bbf0498a84) * Dave's storybook (https://gemini.google.com/share/7eb18718530b) * Tech Transforms Podcast (https://techtransforms.fireside.fm/) We Give Thanks * Thanks to Carolyn and Laura for having Dave on the Tech Transforms Podcast!
