In this episode we dive into the evolving world of AI interfaces with Lino Ramirez, a seasoned product designer passionate about usability and human-centered design. From voice vs. text interactions to the quirks of image generation tools, we explore how today’s AI products are both powerful and frustrating.

We talk about how tools like ChatGPT and newer platforms like Rev.art are changing the way we write, design, code, and even tell stories. Lino shares playful moments using AI with his son, critiques interface limitations, and envisions more intuitive, hybrid experiences that go beyond today's basic chatboxes.

We also cover the pros and cons of AI as a coding assistant, its impact on productivity, and the risk of over-reliance. Is AI making us lazy—or just more efficient? And what does the future of collaboration between humans and machines look like?

Whether you're a designer, developer, or just curious about how AI fits into your creative or technical workflow, this conversation blends personal anecdotes, practical insights, and big-picture thinking on the future of human-AI interaction.
