What happens when AI starts replacing the people behind the content?

In this episode of The Rural Way, Tracy Schira-Parker shares her honest thoughts on AI, authenticity, and the growing pressure for creators and business owners to automate everything.

This conversation explores the balance between using AI as a helpful business tool versus allowing it to replace real human connection. Tracy breaks down the tools she's personally using, what she finds genuinely useful, and the areas where she believes authenticity still matters most.

This episode explores:
· The difference between using AI as a tool versus a replacement
· Why Tracy won't use AI-generated podcast voices or avatars
