Introducing Robert Mitchell Part 2: AI vs. Human Creativity.
Why Jazz Cow Is Fighting Back
Here we are with Part 2—if you missed the first bit, just click here! As we share more about the amazing musicians collaborating on Jazz Cow, a quick reminder—there’s only a handful of days left to support us on Kickstarter even small amounts can make a difference!
We’ve shifted gears from Left-handed piano to explore a topic that everyone on the internet love to talk about —technology and AI. Now, let’s tackle how this all ties into Jazz Cow’s anti-algorithm mission. Robert brought up Graham Lee’s, Human Being: Reclaim 12 Vital Skills We’re Losing to Technology, where he talks about how we’re slowly “de-skilling” ourselves. And with AI on the rise, creativity needs to be front and centre in the conversation because, let’s face it, creativity is endless. AI can never give us a Miles Davis or a John Coltrane. Those legends were shaped by life experiences, stories, and struggles. In a world where we often overlook the unsung heroes pushing boundaries through sheer persistence.

We also got chatting about storytelling—one of Robert’s great passions. He’s a huge fan of Uzumaki, the brilliant Japanese manga that’s recently been adapted, and he couldn’t help but weave in a few references. He talked about how crucial it is to hear stories from all around the world, and that they have the power to connect us and break down prejudices. Music, art, storytelling—they're not just entertainment, they’re tools for peace. They help us understand one another a little better.
I seriously can’t wait to have him on board for Jazz Cow. His creativity, his insight—it’s exactly what this project needs. Behind the comedy of Jazz Cow this show explores an urgent issue: Can we reclaim our creative spirit in an age ruled by tech? From what Robert is saying, it seems we have to. So, if you’re as excited as I am, check out our Kickstarter, support the project, and grab some awesome rewards. Time is running out, Let’s make this happen! and share with some friends.
