The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

And knowing the vocabulary, it's sort of like a set of magic spells.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

You know, either you know them or you don't.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

And I love how Impeccable makes them more broadly available.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

John, talk to us a bit about the analog between what Paul's doing with Impeccable and Kai's power tools.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

And Paul, how do you sort of see the product showing up within the new Git, you know,

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Okay, so follow-up question, Paul.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

So obviously, Git is one of the most important platforms in the world, especially at this moment in time.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

So let's wind the clock forward and imagine a world in which many people are using the new GitHub product and Impeccable to have these sort of designs that are much improved from what you get default from the models.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

As those designs become in distribution for the next gen of models, do we then have to sort of, does the next version of Impeccable have to steer in a different direction altogether?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Or are these sort of evergreen best practices that live regardless of what's in or out of distribution?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

John, do you think uniqueness is an important attribute in design?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

And maybe broadly talk about your view on uniqueness and slop.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Interesting.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Can you say a bit more about it?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

I mean, what would be the role of human taste and judgment in AX?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Yeah, they're both interesting.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

On the agentic topic, where my mind goes is, will agents value aesthetics?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Will they have their own definition?

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

Because you could argue that something that is aesthetic or appears to be high quality, there's information in that that we as humans value.

The a16z Show
What Happens to Design After AI?

We make decisions, at least in part, accordingly.
