Seth Godin on using AI well: leverage constraints, don't remove them
uxmag · x · 2026-09-25
On a new episode of the Invisible Machines podcast, bestselling author Seth Godin argues that using AI well isn't about removing constraints but knowing how to turn them to your advantage. "You can't think outside the box. It's very dark out there," he quips, framing constraints as the fulcrum of good thinking rather than an obstacle.
The episode targets AI design and product practitioners, discussing how to work productively within boundaries instead of chasing unlimited freedom.
