   Prompts vs Pixels

   Part practical deep dive, part existential crisis, Joe and Brian provide Part 2 of our season opener "AI-ay-ay" and get tactical about the tools reshaping their workflows while wrestling with the bigger picture of our AI-obsessed industry. They dissect why every AI interface looks like the same damn chat box and explore how AI is simultaneously empowering designers while making parts of their craft obsolete. And it just wouldn't be Designer&Designer without grappling some sort of unsettling question. This time we ask, if AI makes everything faster, cheaper, and more efficient... what exactly are we rushing toward?
