Is AI Bringing Back the Arts and Crafts Movement?
In 1880, William Morris told Victorian England their houses were full of soulless, mass-produced junk. In 2026, the internet said the same thing to Gucci over an AI ad campaign. This episode breaks down why the AI backlash isn't new — it's a 146-year-old pattern — and what's actually behind the crochet hooks, the certification stamps, and the "human-made" premium taking over creative culture right now.
Ep. 94
A gathering place for the creatively inclined.
Cuerated is a podcast rooted in music and tuned to culture — where sound, style, identity, and storytelling intersect, and creative work becomes personal.
It's not chasing trends or feeding the algorithm. Each episode is a conversation, not an interview — unhurried, a little unfiltered, more interested in the connective tissue than the soundbite. What artists make. Why they make it. How culture carries it forward.
This isn't for everyone, and it doesn't try to be. But if you're drawn to conversations that move at a different pace — that treat creativity as something felt and carried forward, not broadcast — you're on the right frequency.
