Why spend hours filtering your Instagram photos and curating a fake lifestyle when you can just reshape your entire reality in real time with Decart XR? I’m genuinely torn about Decart XR.

Are you AI video costs snowballing? If (like me) you’re deep-diving into a dazzling array of creative AI tools, generators, and aggregated platforms, you’re not just burning credits. You’re torching cash. It stings. We’ve tasted progress: stock sites swapped stingy credits for unlimited feasts. Yay! Yet here we are, renting software we once owned. Adobe in 2013, MAXON in 2019. Boo! Now AI platforms demand subscriptions AND credits. A double dip that feels like a digital kick

For non-UI designers, at least. I’ve been a Figma fanboy for 4-5 years. It was my go-to board for brand design systems, storyboards, moodboards, smart (responsive) social templates, and lately even CMYK print work, with PrinTriX power-ups, instead of InDesign or Illustrator. It has been pure gold for remote teams. Or for when brand/marketing teams are working in parallel with the UI/UX team.  One shared space.  Seamless sync.  No silos. But last night at 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗯𝗲 𝗠𝗔𝗫 lau

For those embracing AI in workflows—and not being displaced—the promise is clear: ditch the grunt work, reclaim time. Sounds utopian. But what happens to that freed-up time?

If you’re churning out content with no clear/original concept and no refinement, you’re not a creative. You’re a client! At best, a middleman posing as a master chef while ordering off a menu. Let’s call it what it is: you’re fa(i)ke, and it’s time you knew it. 😉 I’m done with tools peddling instant “art”. Real talent demands creative control. Here’s what I need from AI tools to empower pros:

How OpenAI's Atlas shakes up the search empire and impacts your data, privacy, and browsing. The browser wars got a turbo boost with OpenAI's launch of Atlas – an AI-powered browser with ChatGPT built in. No tab-juggling; ask, and it works.

Outraged, I dug into the company, a one-person agency churning out 100% AI-generated content, run by someone with zero video or design experience.

It tips the scale, demanding 80% more effort for diminishing returns: reduced ROI and stretched resources. With AI in play, let’s rebalance and rethink this trusted mantra. This shift isn’t just the

Navigating client views on AI feels like walking a tightrope these days. In my work, I’ve spotted three main types, each with its own stance on gen-AI in content creation. Let’s call them the Three Client Houses, with AI as the Big Bad Wolf testing their foundations!
