#14 Lino Ramirez: Rethinking the UX of AI interfaces

In this episode we dive into the evolving world of AI interfaces with Lino Ramirez, a seasoned product designer passionate about usability and human-centered design. From voice vs. text interactions to the quirks of image generation tools, we explore how today’s AI products are both powerful and frustrating.

We talk about how tools like ChatGPT and newer platforms like Reve.art are changing the way we write, design, code, and even tell stories. They share playful moments such as using AI with your kid, critiqueing interface limitations, and envisioning more intuitive, hybrid experiences that go beyond today's basic chatboxes.

We also cover the pros and cons of AI as a coding assistant, its impact on productivity, and the risk of over-reliance. Is AI making us lazy—or just more efficient? And what does the future of collaboration between humans and machines look like?

Whether you're a designer, developer, or just curious about how AI fits into your creative or technical workflow, this conversation blends personal anecdotes, practical insights, and big-picture thinking on the future of human-AI interaction.

• Why current AI UIs are stuck in “text box” thinking

• The trade-offs between efficiency and creativity

• How AI fits into product design and rapid prototyping

• Real-world examples of good (and hilariously bad) image generations
