POD 73 - Agency or Freelance in the Age of AI? - Barry Baris Dogan

Okay, Barry.

So how long do you think until an AI generated site wins the awards, site of the day award?

That's not an easy question to answer.

I think it already did.

I mean, if you look at it since two, three months, of course you see some AI work, but you know, AI is not a person.

It's not going to win it itself.

It's all about the composition, designer, developer.

project, you know, and also what kind of award, you know, if we are talking about site of the day or site of the month or developer award, they are still a little bit subjective.

RT projects, I mean, I am also doing that time to time, but AI is already there if you know how to use it.

Of course, you cannot just wait for the final input or output from AI.

You have to use it like an instrument, you know.

Everyone can play instrument maybe, but not everyone can be successful or make good songs.

Or I always compare it like being a chef.

AI maybe could be your, you know, device or the thing that you cook with.

And if you know what to cook, how to combine the ingredients together, you can do it very well.

If you use, I don't know, microwave food, pizza, you cannot do so, I guess.

I mean, sometimes you need it, of course, for yourself, but you are not going to be successful.

But AI is very, very, of course, easier.

Even you can do the things that I was not allowed, able to do back then that opened a new dimension for me.

yeah totally totally that question is maybe a bit clickbaity maybe a bit one-sided like there's so many ways you can use ai with websites so you can you can do the technical stuff you can do the assets or like images even even videos and so on i know that you have been judging those awards sites too so do you get get like sites that use too much ai in the submissions and do you think that there should be some sort of like limit on what you can submit there

Yeah, I am not a person who believes in, you know, limits or bans.

So it should be everything kind of free to use, you know, kind of also a little bit like Wild West, like maybe 20 years ago, how the Internet was.

So I don't believe that there should be a limit what to use or how to use.

Even right now, you have to label your pictures if it's AI created or edited.

I understand the reason, but still it won't bring us further now.
