Navigate AI with clarity, not panic
There’s a lot of noise about AI right now. It’s going to replace us. It’s going to revolutionize everything. It’s the best thing since sliced bread or the beginning of the end.
In this episode, Andrew Stein, a content design leader and thoughtful skeptic, helps us cut through the noise. We talk about what AI actually means for content professionals, how to spot the hype, and what it looks like to respond with nuance instead of fear.
This isn’t an AI doomscroll. It’s a clear-eyed look at the choices ahead of us—and why content designers are uniquely positioned to ask the right questions.
What we talked about:
✅ Why skepticism is a healthy response to AI
✅ What content design still does better than AI (by a long shot)
✅ The pressure to “prove your value” in the age of automation
✅ How to have thoughtful conversations about AI at work
✅ Why embracing complexity is part of the job now
✅ The difference between curiosity and panic
✅ Where content strategy still shines no matter the tools
✅ Why being critical of tech isn’t being anti-tech
