The AI slop problem is getting worse. AI can crank out code, decks, and landing pages in minutes, but somehow everything starts to look exactly the same. That sameness is not just an aesthetic problem; it is a trust problem. I sit down with David Okuniev (Founder of Typeform and Supercut) to unpack what “taste” really means when anyone can one-shot a product, and why people still crave signals of real craft.
We also dive into the hidden cost of easy creation: from small-team dynamics to a "65 PR backlog," we discuss how AI shifts the bottleneck from writing code to building a harness for shipping safely.
Beyond the philosophy, we get practical about the future of async work. Supercut’s bet is that the winning Loom alternative is not just about recording your screen, it's about searchable transcripts, AI Q&A, and agentic workflows that turn a video into a document your team can act on immediately.
If you care about product design, reliability, and building honest software in the AI bubble, this conversation will sharpen your thinking.
