AI Slop vs. Design Taste - Community Call #10

​Join us online at Design XP to spot AI slop before it ships and build the one skill AI can't replicate for you: taste. In a world where anyone can prompt their way to "competent," designers with a real point of view are the ones who stand out.

We'll break down what separates generic AI output from work with a real point of view. You'll then critique real examples in small breakout groups so be prepared to make some new design friends along the way!

Here's how the hour runs:

• ​5 min - Exhibit A: a real piece of AI slop, caught in the wild

• ​15 min - The framework: what slop is, why AI defaults to it, and why taste is becoming the career skill AI can't replace

• ​25 min - Breakout critique: your room gets 4 generic AI designs and 4 distinctive ones without knowing which one's which

• ​10 min - Playback: groups share verdicts, we argue out the close ones together

• ​5 min - Takeaway: how to avoid creating AI slop
