[…] Computers are already better than humans at chess, yet we don’t watch computers play—we watch humans. Similarly, robots can outperform athletes in certain Olympic events, but we’re not drawn to that either. What makes human performance compelling, whether in sports or design, is its randomness and unpredictability. So yes, there will be studios entirely run by machines, but the vision, the spirit, and the driving force behind the practice will remain critical. […]

[…] It’s fascinating to think that my five-year-old daughter already has GPT-4o as her baseline. She interacts with it naturally through voice interfaces, and by the time she’s a teenager, engaging with machine intelligence will be second nature to her. For us, we had the advantage of developing intuition and building experience without AI as an immediate tool. For today’s students, the challenge is to integrate these technologies while still developing real-world experience, conducting field research, and shaping a distinct vision and approach to their work. Interestingly, rare books and traditional publications are becoming even more valuable. Unlike digital content, these sources haven’t been extensively trained into AI models, making them repositories of deeper, more exclusive knowledge. […]

[…] it’s part of evolution. You can embrace it or you can just fall behind. Anything new generally causes people to be speculative. I know with crypto I’ve done it. NFTs in particular I was never super fond of. They’ve been around a long time, but I would say language learning models have already been used and you can benefit from them. So I’d say embrace it because it can make you. […]

[…] it’s almost so easy to spot when something’s been generated by AI. So you could sit here and say, ‘Oh yeah, we don’t have to worry about that because it’s easy to tell whether or not somebody made it.’ But it would be foolish to say that there’s not going to be a day when you won’t be able to tell. And when that happens, society will either reject it or embrace it. And I would assume that it’s going to be an embrace, because humans naturally fall to whatever creates the least amount of friction in their lives. […]

[…] I think we’re looking at it too black and white. It’s just a tool, so it’s part of our job. People are looking toward us for expertise, and to better understand how these tools may benefit their business. Maybe it’ll help spark an idea, but I don’t think it’ll ever fully replace humans. You can almost always see when someone tries to completely remove the human part of it. Machines can’t feel. […]
