Ban Social Media if you’ve shown using Regulation (of companies/suppliers), Education (of children) and/or Socialisation (thru support of families and friends) does not work.

Otherwise it’s Simpsons’ Beatnik time.

I still can't get over them using "AI" for placeholder *text*. They're literally thinking of words, and instead of using those words as their placeholder, they're plugging them into the bullshit machine to get different words. It's like unplugging your space heater and setting it on fire for warmth.

3. They go, "Nah, disagree; get onboard, or piss off" and that's sort of that.

In that context, is there a positive vision of how designers might work *with* AI? (Because that's better than AI working without designers.)
