What Happens to Design After AI?

And so it means that designers are closer to programmers, but programmers of interaction.

And I think Paul, probably, he subconsciously is working in this way when we talk about evals, Paul.

Evals live in latent space construction as literal meta design.

Speed, clarity, and verbosity.

and all the edge cases.

The a16z Show

So the best example I like is the one of you have to have a really good dash dash help.

You have to have great error messages.

that I believe that primarily visual design thinkers will be able to crack that faster because there's so many gnarly problems in it that an average engineering mind will not be the right shape mind, I believe.

The a16z Show

Paul, the design of Impeccable is an example to me of great sort of computational craft for people who understand how to use manipulations of agents and code.

The a16z Show

So that's why another thing I admired about your work, it's very computational.
