Is the Future of Design... Just Code? - Ep. 57

In this episode of the ScholarAI Founders Pod, the founders explore the shifting boundary between design and development. From diffusion models that can’t quite get the details right, to tools like Vercel’s V0 and Figma’s Dev Mode, they unpack why the design-to-code handoff is breaking down, and what comes next.

They also break down why Claude 3.5 is outperforming GPT-4 for UX copy, the unexpected value of AI-generated “ugly UIs,” and the deeper philosophical question: if agents and humans both communicate in code, is that the future of everything?
