Does AI really suck, and will it keep on sucking?

Some say it floods their feed and brains with slop, others think it could help them understand the world better. Opinions are open, but one thing we can agree on is that there will be more AI in the future.

How might we create a better AI, then? What if there's an AI that only annotates your sketches to explain things to you, or handed you small puzzles so you write the code yourself?

In this two-day workshop, we will explore that question together through speculative design, world-building and vibe-prototyping.

Whether you're excited, concerned, or somewhere in between, bring your laptop and your fresh human brain, and let's unsuck AI together.

** No programming skills needed. Curious, skeptical and hopeful people are all welcome.
