Dezain Radar summary
This piece outlines a framework for calibrating AI interventions based on user intent and task complexity. It argues against the default use of generative or conversational interfaces, suggesting that systems should alternate between being invisible assistants, supportive guides, or proactive creators depending on the context.
Why this matters
