AI filmmaker and 14-time author Jason Moore joins me to unpack how artificial intelligence has reshaped the way he tells stories — without stripping out the creativity behind them. We get into a real client project that only became possible because of AI, his three guiding principles for using it well, and how he handles the inevitable wave of online critics. If you're curious (or a little nervous) about where AI fits into your video business, this conversation's for you.

Key Takeaways

AI works best as a collaborator, not a vending machine — the more of yourself you bring to it, the better the output.
Some projects only exist because AI makes them affordable. In those cases, nobody actually loses a job that was never in the budget to begin with.
Every big tech shift — Photoshop, CGI in Jurassic Park, even self-checkout — displaced some work while creating new opportunities for the people who adapted.
Jason's "soul test": if you don't bring your own creativity and judgment, you get soulless results. The human stays in the driver's seat.
