The way creative professionals use AI is undergoing a seismic shift. For the past couple of years, the process has been linear and a bit like pulling a slot machine lever. You’d type a prompt into a chat box like Midjourney, get an image, and if it wasn’t quite right, you’d pull the lever again, hoping for a better random seed.

It was fun, novel, and occasionally useful, but it was a clumsy fit for a professional creative workflow.

You've probably seen people talk about "vibe coding." It was original coined by Andrej Karpathy as a tongue-in-cheek term, but it's caught on as a way to refer to the new style of software development where you let AI take the wheel. Essentially, you tell the AI what you want ("an app where I can upload a photo, it adds my watermark, and emails it to my client") and it will do the rest -... read more ›
