Is AI Taking My Job? (And Why We're Sleeping in Separate Bedrooms) | Wife Approved Ep 15

In this episode we’re diving into something wild we both experienced this week — and no, it’s not just us sleeping in separate bedrooms and we may have been wrong about that. Shane found a company (that he likes) using an AI influencer in their ads.. So we’re asking: is AI coming for creators’ jobs next? And what does this mean for real-life, real-people content?

🎙️ IN THIS EPISODE:
• Why we suddenly understand why some couples sleep apart
• The creator economy shifting under our feet
• AI voice cloning, deepfakes, and why the future is about to get messy
• How brands are already using AI influencers (and why it gave us the ick)
• The importance of authenticity online
• Tattoo stories, marriage honesty, and a whole lot of chaos
• Drop your questions for a full behind-the-scenes “content creator episode” coming soon.
