I've worked professionally in Trust & Safety. I'm passionate about tech ethics, creator industries, and how we all should work together. And I really hope we can actually have constructive conversations on this platform that may push cultural, product, and policy changes for the better. It's very daunting as a female creator to address a situation like this, so I hope we can show up with empathy, curiosity, and constructive dialogue together. 🫢 Thank you for always making me feel safe to speak up. In this ep, we talk about: β†’ what actually happened on the brand trip β†’ the video Megan posted and the moment she realized it was going sideways β†’ how the press reaches out when they already know the angle they want β†’ why this trip hit a nerve when other AI brand trips didn't β†’ why the women creators took the brunt of the backlash β†’ how brands and creators should actually give each other feedback β†’ where tech creators sit between Silicon Valley's echo chamber and everyone else β†’ Find Megan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganlieu Submit your Coworker Confessions πŸ‘‡ https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫢 It's free~ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/74OhzR8gn1qpGU87o9c5te?si=iDka1lukS9OcIAkuHyvU9g Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-need-to-talk-about-the-ai-brand-trip-situation-ft/id1752596006?i=1000787432744 π™Žπ™Šπ˜Ύπ™„π˜Όπ™‡π™Ž 🌸 instagram β†’ https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih OD instagram β†’ https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod tiktok β†’ https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads β†’ https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin β†’ https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon β†’ https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com 00:00:00 - intro 00:00:57 - why we're doing this episode 00:03:36 - meet Megan Lieu! 00:07:49 - the press outreach after the backlash 00:09:26 - the time a reporter hit-pieced me 00:10:51 - what actually happened on the OpenAI brand trip 00:11:56 - Megan's headspace coming out of the trip 00:12:46 - the tech creator space is small and lonely 00:13:56 - her content plan going in 00:16:39 - could she have predicted it? 00:17:29 - what the internet was actually saying 00:20:04 - why this trip hit a nerve when others didn't 00:22:04 - what creator events are actually for 00:24:46 - the elephant in the room 00:28:09 - what Megan would do differently 00:28:50 - why the women creators took the brunt 00:32:39 - are creators just shields for brands? 00:37:30 - OpenAI's official response 00:39:04 - what the creator partnership playbook should look like 00:45:48 - what Megan wants her relationship with AI to be 00:48:24 - being vulnerable on LinkedIn before it was cool 00:51:27 - Silicon Valley is an echo chamber 00:54:36 - what Megan learned about herself 00:58:37 - the new wave of tech creators 01:00:19 - final thoughts #officedramapodcast #chloeshih #techcreators ## Stats - **Views:** 20,578 - **Likes:** 164 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 32 ## Tags officedramapodcast, techcreators, chloeshih --- Copyright (c) Gondola
