This Jungian Life
Statement on the Use of AI
In the elder days of art
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part,
For the gods see everywhere.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
As relentless explorers of inner worlds, we share our years of training, clinical experience, personal analysis and study of Jung’s work through weekly recordings. We discuss a wide range of human interests and concerns from a Jungian psychological perspective in service to our mission of bringing Jung to the world. All podcast content for This Jungian Life comes from humans with insight and expertise they wish to share.
Producing the podcast is the result of the dedication and talent of everyone on our very special and thoroughly human team. We use AI only as a tool that expedites production and dissemination of our podcast. Our marketing and creative team does not use AI to write captions or create designs. AI is minimally used in the design process within the normal scope of professional design programs and is specifically used for upscaling existing low-resolution images as well as removing or extending the background on existing images.
Our episode show notes and website pages are written by our talented team without the use of AI. Our audio and video production team uses AI tools to initiate a first-pass cleanup for audio. We also use AI to generate closed captions for our video clips, which are then manually copy edited. Our producer also uses AI to generate base images that are then edited and polished for use as podcast graphics. Aside from that, producing and editing the podcast remains a handcrafted labor of love on the part of our human producer.
This Jungian Life has always been a free podcast, and it will continue to be free. Our supporters on Patreon enable us to cover basic production costs, but hosts and guests do not receive payment for their time and work. This Jungian Life has been and remains a labor of love. We want our podcast to promote thoughtful debate and public awareness as this new technological age unfolds at a speed faster than anyone could have predicted.
We already have episodes on:
We plan to add to this list in a continuing exploration of the potential impact of AI on our humanity and on the individual psyche.
Our team is committed to producing the highest quality human-made product each week. In a world of online content that increasingly feels inauthentic or ersatz, we want to ensure that This Jungian Life can be trusted to offer content with genuine integrity.
