The Design Dilemma – Why Defining Design is So Hard

This podcast is hosted by two AI hosts who "deep-dive" into my (human-written) blog post, in which I examine the significant challenges associated with defining the term "design."

It's fascinating to hear their lively discussion and how they interpret the issues I discuss in the blog post. It is almost hard to remember that they are not humans talking!

The interview focuses on my key points. For example, the word "design" is so commonly used; why do we even need to ask the question, "What is design?" Yet the truth is, we all have personal assumptions about what design means, and we often assume our perspective is the same as everyone else's! Then, the communication issues we can experience in a collaborative environment, especially when it involves non-designers and designers, have an unseen impact on businesses.

The purpose of my work and experimentation with this podcast is to raise awareness of the assumptions surrounding our understanding of design meanings. Let me know what you think.
