AI Doesn't Kill Craft, It Moves It: Iterating With Agents Beats One-Shot Outputs
CSProfKGD · x · 2026-09-27
A professor's observation on AI workflows and where human skill now lives:
- One-shot animations and visualizations are impressive, but the real opportunity is in iteration: work with the agent, set guardrails, critique output, and refine.
- AI generates the pixels or the code, but taste, intent, and audience understanding still come from you.
- Core takeaway: AI doesn't eliminate craft — it changes where in the value chain craft happens, shifting it from execution to intent and judgment.
