Everyone's either terrified of AI or shouting that you're behind. This episode is neither. Rebeka sits down with Rhiannon Lee - founder of Oleander and Finch and one of the design industry's clearest voices on AI - for the most honest conversation we've had about using these tools without losing yourself in them.
If you've ever opened ChatGPT to save half an hour and lost half a day, this one's for you.
In this episode:
Why nobody is the expert - and why that's good news, not bad
ChatGPT goes wide, Claude goes deep: how Rhiannon actually uses each one
The real reason some people get magic out of AI and others get bland mush (hint: it's your foundations, not your tool)
Where AI quietly becomes dangerous - the confident subdivision advice that could cost hundreds of thousands
Why a hallucination isn't a lie, it's a plausible answer that isn't real
Staying the creative director: the part of your work that never gets outsourced
The automation trap, and why two good posts beat twenty bland ones
Keeping your business off the tool - own your foundations in a platform that's yours
A line worth sitting with: "You're the creative director. Creativity sits under your role and it doesn't get outsourced." - Rhiannon Lee
