What if the real question about AI isn’t what it can do—but what it will never be able to feel? In this episode of Shapeshifter, I wade through the noise of automation, convenience, and productivity to reflect on something deeper: what makes us human, and why that matters more than ever.

Join me as we explore:

• The Rise of AI: What ChatGPT and other AI tools are doing for us—and to us.
• Feeling vs. Function: Why the body matters, and why AI’s lack of a nervous system means it can never truly blush, tremble, or fall in love.
• Textiles, Memory & The Goss: How women have passed ancestral wisdom through threads, gossip, and sacred mess for generations.
• Ceremony vs. Simulation: The danger of replacing embodied ritual with digital efficiency, and why presence still holds the power.
• Choosing Slowness: Why in a world that’s speeding up, artists and shapeshifters are being called to zag—to slow down, gather, stitch, and remember.
  

This episode is a love letter to the handmade, the heartfelt, the imperfect, and the deeply human. If you’ve ever felt like your soul is whispering “don’t forget the pulse,” this one’s for you.
