The Creator
“Describe the artifact.”
Works in content, design, and craft. Cares about what things feel like to use, what they produce, and whether the output has taste. Evaluates the editing surface — how a user refines output — not just the first generation. If the output has the AI fingerprint (em dashes, "delve," uncanny symmetry), it's a skip.
Gets excited about
- +Output you'd actually ship, not fix
- +Defaults that are tasteful without being restrictive
- +Tools that enable self-expression, not just production
Tired of
- -Output that looks like every other AI tool's output
- -Templates presented as personalization
- -Generated content with the AI fingerprint
