We tackle the uncomfortable tension between AI-driven speed and the risk of cognitive atrophy, asking if our rush for efficiency is quietly eroding our ability to wrestle with messy problems. While Andy Bhattacharyya warns that outsourcing deep work creates an aesthetic monoculture, Darragh Curran argues that safe human handoffs often outweigh the false promise of full automation. We then pivot to the community's raw debates on fake interviews and the friction between rigid best practices and the messy reality of user needs. Join us as we navigate whether we are designing for the job or for the specific person reading our portfolios.
