“There is a monotonous and somewhat vanilla verbosity associated with how LLMs write and talk. I don’t think it’s because AI doesn’t use the right words.

The detail, the quality →
“We all aspire to higher quality, but we must be committed from the outset. We must reengage with all our design skills, not just focus on the post-it. While workshops and PowerPoint presentations abound, there’s limited capacity to materialize things with a minimum level of quality or final vision.”
