IS THIS AI?
With GenAI, you can be fast or good.
AI tools can complete some tasks really fast. Much faster than a human can. But is what they’re producing good or are we just creating more stuff really fast? Is that a good thing? This episode aims to discuss how the qualities of ‘fast’ and ‘good’ are changing workflows and expectations.
In this episode, UX designer and accessible design leader, Emily Lawes shares her experience of Figma Sites and explores the opportunities and pitfalls vibe coding and the pitfalls of launching an AI-created asset.
Focused on practical and real world use cases, we discuss how we work and what we need from these tools as they develop.
Co-hosts Olly Veysey and Lisa Talia Moretti are joined by Emily Lawes. Emily is a Lead UX Designer based in Bristol, dedicated to creating accessible and inclusive digital experiences. With a background in software engineering, she bridges the gap between design and development, ensuring accessibility is considered from the start.
