  1. Cool. Uh, let's get this going. Welcome Cool. Uh, let's get this going. Welcome everyone. Thanks for coming. Um, my name everyone. Thanks for coming. Um, my name everyone. Thanks for coming. Um, my name is Paul and, uh, I'm going to try to is Paul and, uh, I'm going to try to is Paul and, uh, I'm going to try to save you from the midday slump. So, save you from the midday slump. So, save you from the midday slump. So, let's, uh, let's see if we can do that. let's, uh, let's see if we can do that. let's, uh, let's see if we can do that. Um, okay. So this talk, this cold open Um, okay. So this talk, this cold open Um, okay. So this talk, this cold open of this talk will make a lot more sense of this talk will make a lot more sense of this talk will make a lot more sense if you know uh what impeccable is. Uh if you know uh what impeccable is. Uh if you know uh what impeccable is. Uh but if you don't know what it is, it's a but if you don't know what it is, it's a but if you don't know what it is, it's a design, it's a design skill that turns design, it's a design skill that turns design, it's a design skill that turns your coding harness into a better your coding harness into a better your coding harness into a better designer and hopefully you into a better designer and hopefully you into a better designer and hopefully you into a better designer. Um and you can try it out. It designer. Um and you can try it out. It designer. Um and you can try it out. It works across all harnesses, cloth code, works across all harnesses, cloth code, works across all harnesses, cloth code, github, copilot, cursor, codex, etc. Um, github, copilot, cursor, codex, etc. Um, github, copilot, cursor, codex, etc. Um, and this talk is really about uh my and this talk is really about uh my and this talk is really about uh my approach to how to building this tool as approach to how to building this tool as approach to how to building this tool as opposed to the tool itself. Um, but opposed to the tool itself. Um, but opposed to the tool itself. Um, but let's get started with a pretty typical let's get started with a pretty typical let's get started with a pretty typical website. So, this is a intentionally website. So, this is a intentionally website. So, this is a intentionally very basic website and I want to give very basic website and I want to give very basic website and I want to give you that one as context to what I'm you that one as context to what I'm you that one as context to what I'm going to show you next. So, you know, going to show you next. So, you know, going to show you next. So, you know, it's it's a it's it's an okay website. it's it's a it's it's an okay website. it's it's a it's it's an okay website. It's not great. It's pretty bland. Um It's not great. It's pretty bland. Um It's not great. It's pretty bland. Um but it at least it has some color some but it at least it has some color some but it at least it has some color some something. Um so now here is um the something. Um so now here is um the something. Um so now here is um the command make it bolder make the workflow command make it bolder make the workflow command make it bolder make the workflow section bolder with impeccable.

  2. section bolder with impeccable. section bolder with impeccable. Um so this is with impeccable installed. Um so this is with impeccable installed. Um so this is with impeccable installed. So now there are it's not perfect. There So now there are it's not perfect. There So now there are it's not perfect. There are some problems with this. for are some problems with this. for are some problems with this. for example, the um the section numbers that example, the um the section numbers that example, the um the section numbers that you have there, that's a very typical AI you have there, that's a very typical AI you have there, that's a very typical AI slop tail uh that uh that GPT loves to slop tail uh that uh that GPT loves to slop tail uh that uh that GPT loves to do and I mean Claude actually loves to do and I mean Claude actually loves to do and I mean Claude actually loves to do as well and do as well and do as well and it sometimes creeps in. So I wouldn't it sometimes creeps in. So I wouldn't it sometimes creeps in. So I wouldn't say this is perfect by any means but I say this is perfect by any means but I say this is perfect by any means but I think it's I would say bolder than think it's I would say bolder than think it's I would say bolder than before. Um before. Um before. Um now a lot of people install impeccable now a lot of people install impeccable now a lot of people install impeccable try it out uh and then they ask me well try it out uh and then they ask me well try it out uh and then they ask me well I don't know like maybe it could be I don't know like maybe it could be I don't know like maybe it could be placebo maybe the model is good enough placebo maybe the model is good enough placebo maybe the model is good enough in itself right uh not sure if it in itself right uh not sure if it in itself right uh not sure if it actually works well let's compare it to actually works well let's compare it to actually works well let's compare it to this is exactly the same project GPD55 this is exactly the same project GPD55 this is exactly the same project GPD55 on extra high um same exact prompt on extra high um same exact prompt on extra high um same exact prompt without impeccable so there is a slight difference I would so there is a slight difference I would say but you be the judge of say but you be the judge of say but you be the judge of Um, so the before and after is pretty Um, so the before and after is pretty Um, so the before and after is pretty different and I'm going to talk about different and I'm going to talk about different and I'm going to talk about why that is and um and and what the why that is and um and and what the why that is and um and and what the approach is.

  3. approach is. approach is. So designing at the speed of adjectives So designing at the speed of adjectives So designing at the speed of adjectives and um to get the elephant out of the and um to get the elephant out of the and um to get the elephant out of the room, they are not just adjectives, room, they are not just adjectives, room, they are not just adjectives, they're also verbs. Uh but some of them they're also verbs. Uh but some of them they're also verbs. Uh but some of them are adjectives. First off, the role of the engineer and First off, the role of the engineer and the design are blurring. Um, I've seen the design are blurring. Um, I've seen the design are blurring. Um, I've seen more people become design engineers than more people become design engineers than more people become design engineers than ever. Designers are moving into code, ever. Designers are moving into code, ever. Designers are moving into code, engineers are moving into design and engineers are moving into design and engineers are moving into design and vice versa. Some of the best comments I vice versa. Some of the best comments I vice versa. Some of the best comments I get from people who walk up to me and get from people who walk up to me and get from people who walk up to me and say like, well, impeccable gives me this say like, well, impeccable gives me this say like, well, impeccable gives me this shared language of design that everybody shared language of design that everybody shared language of design that everybody can communicate now in. But really, can communicate now in. But really, can communicate now in. But really, these worlds are all colliding in my these worlds are all colliding in my these worlds are all colliding in my opinion and the typical handoff is kind opinion and the typical handoff is kind opinion and the typical handoff is kind of broken. like the the waterfall of broken. like the the waterfall of broken. like the the waterfall process of I start with design, maybe I process of I start with design, maybe I process of I start with design, maybe I start with like the what on the PM side, start with like the what on the PM side, start with like the what on the PM side, then it goes into design and then then it goes into design and then then it goes into design and then there's like this handoff and this there's like this handoff and this there's like this handoff and this critique process and then ultimately the critique process and then ultimately the critique process and then ultimately the engineer builds it. That thing is just engineer builds it. That thing is just engineer builds it. That thing is just not real anymore. I don't know about not real anymore. I don't know about not real anymore. I don't know about you, but um I think that's starting to you, but um I think that's starting to you, but um I think that's starting to collapse very quickly in small and large collapse very quickly in small and large collapse very quickly in small and large companies.

  4. And when it comes to the actual work of And when it comes to the actual work of design, design, design, I feel like there's right now kind of I feel like there's right now kind of I feel like there's right now kind of like two worlds that you can play in. like two worlds that you can play in. like two worlds that you can play in. Either it's direct manipulation sort of Either it's direct manipulation sort of Either it's direct manipulation sort of like in the pixel space, right? So like in the pixel space, right? So like in the pixel space, right? So you're in Figma and you're manipulating you're in Figma and you're manipulating you're in Figma and you're manipulating margins, paddings, whatever it is. Um or margins, paddings, whatever it is. Um or margins, paddings, whatever it is. Um or you're in web flow or you're in some you're in web flow or you're in some you're in web flow or you're in some other tool where you directly other tool where you directly other tool where you directly manipulating the final output uh or the manipulating the final output uh or the manipulating the final output uh or the design. Now that's fine, but then you design. Now that's fine, but then you design. Now that's fine, but then you feel like you're getting behind because feel like you're getting behind because feel like you're getting behind because everybody else is like agentic and going everybody else is like agentic and going everybody else is like agentic and going crazy with loops and loop maxing, right? crazy with loops and loop maxing, right? crazy with loops and loop maxing, right? And now you're going on the other And now you're going on the other And now you're going on the other extreme, which is simply telling your extreme, which is simply telling your extreme, which is simply telling your agent, please design this for me or agent, please design this for me or agent, please design this for me or please build this. But it feels like to please build this. But it feels like to please build this. But it feels like to me at least there's this there's this me at least there's this there's this me at least there's this there's this middle ground that we haven't explored middle ground that we haven't explored middle ground that we haven't explored enough like what is the exact level of enough like what is the exact level of enough like what is the exact level of control? How can we insert the human in control? How can we insert the human in control? How can we insert the human in the loop at the exact right time? the loop at the exact right time? the loop at the exact right time? Uh and so this this came to mind then Uh and so this this came to mind then Uh and so this this came to mind then it's pretty popular tweet a while ago. it's pretty popular tweet a while ago. it's pretty popular tweet a while ago. Um so centering a diff with opus. Yes. Um so centering a diff with opus. Yes. Um so centering a diff with opus. Yes. Uh not a great use of opus. Uh but you Uh not a great use of opus. Uh but you Uh not a great use of opus. Uh but you know it kind of speaks to that problem.

  5. know it kind of speaks to that problem. know it kind of speaks to that problem. It's like okay well when do we use which It's like okay well when do we use which It's like okay well when do we use which tool? When is which tool adequate to do tool? When is which tool adequate to do tool? When is which tool adequate to do what job? what job? what job? In my opinion right now for most work In my opinion right now for most work In my opinion right now for most work the direct manipulation of padding, the direct manipulation of padding, the direct manipulation of padding, margins, spacing and so on is actually margins, spacing and so on is actually margins, spacing and so on is actually at a elevation that's too low. at a elevation that's too low. at a elevation that's too low. And on the other hand um if you go fully And on the other hand um if you go fully And on the other hand um if you go fully agentic you get web pages like this now agentic you get web pages like this now agentic you get web pages like this now that you would you would get this in that you would you would get this in that you would you would get this in like 2022 I would say. So everybody here like 2022 I would say. So everybody here like 2022 I would say. So everybody here can point out the typical AI slot can point out the typical AI slot can point out the typical AI slot patterns. Um but the purple gradients patterns. Um but the purple gradients patterns. Um but the purple gradients were actually way beyond that. there are were actually way beyond that. there are were actually way beyond that. there are no purple gradients anymore uh in most no purple gradients anymore uh in most no purple gradients anymore uh in most frontier models. Um now we just get this frontier models. Um now we just get this frontier models. Um now we just get this and it's kind of wears a different suit and it's kind of wears a different suit and it's kind of wears a different suit as Claude would say. Um but uh but it as Claude would say. Um but uh but it as Claude would say. Um but uh but it really is slop as well. It's just a really is slop as well. It's just a really is slop as well. It's just a moving target. So now we have I call moving target. So now we have I call moving target. So now we have I call this claude beige. We have these this claude beige. We have these this claude beige. We have these instrument serif fonts. We have italics. instrument serif fonts. We have italics. instrument serif fonts. We have italics. And it's not necessarily a bad design. And it's not necessarily a bad design. And it's not necessarily a bad design. It's just everything that comes out of It's just everything that comes out of It's just everything that comes out of claw design looks that way. And when claw design looks that way. And when claw design looks that way. And when everything looks the same, you kind of everything looks the same, you kind of everything looks the same, you kind of get algorithmic unilo as I call it. Uh get algorithmic unilo as I call it. Uh get algorithmic unilo as I call it. Uh so also not great.

  6. so also not great. so also not great. Now here's my first hot take of today's Now here's my first hot take of today's Now here's my first hot take of today's session. You cannot oneshot design. session. You cannot oneshot design. session. You cannot oneshot design. Um now many people want to and maybe Um now many people want to and maybe Um now many people want to and maybe we'll get there eventually. I just don't we'll get there eventually. I just don't we'll get there eventually. I just don't think it's possible at the current think it's possible at the current think it's possible at the current moment. Uh maybe not ever. Um, I think moment. Uh maybe not ever. Um, I think moment. Uh maybe not ever. Um, I think in order to build something that really in order to build something that really in order to build something that really looks and feels great and is effective looks and feels great and is effective looks and feels great and is effective design, you need to have something design, you need to have something design, you need to have something that's context context rich which has that's context context rich which has that's context context rich which has been informed by what you're trying to been informed by what you're trying to been informed by what you're trying to do, what your audience is, what you're do, what your audience is, what you're do, what your audience is, what you're trying to build. And also it will have trying to build. And also it will have trying to build. And also it will have to be multi-shot. You will have to to be multi-shot. You will have to to be multi-shot. You will have to iterate on your design. Uh, and you I iterate on your design. Uh, and you I iterate on your design. Uh, and you I mean even if you're a soloreneur, but if mean even if you're a soloreneur, but if mean even if you're a soloreneur, but if you're not a soloreneur, you might have you're not a soloreneur, you might have you're not a soloreneur, you might have different people who have different different people who have different different people who have different opinions. Users have opinions. I mean opinions. Users have opinions. I mean opinions. Users have opinions. I mean design is messy. it's process and design is messy. it's process and design is messy. it's process and wishing it away and just saying like wishing it away and just saying like wishing it away and just saying like solve this problem for me agent will not solve this problem for me agent will not solve this problem for me agent will not unfortunately solve your problem. Um unfortunately solve your problem. Um unfortunately solve your problem. Um now the other problem is if you don't now the other problem is if you don't now the other problem is if you don't know the language of design or if your know the language of design or if your know the language of design or if your stakeholders don't know the language of stakeholders don't know the language of stakeholders don't know the language of design gets really frustrating really design gets really frustrating really design gets really frustrating really quickly too. So if you've ever designed quickly too. So if you've ever designed quickly too. So if you've ever designed something um you kind of know like this something um you kind of know like this something um you kind of know like this kind of experience um and then you know kind of experience um and then you know kind of experience um and then you know the inner feeling builds up of like the inner feeling builds up of like the inner feeling builds up of like and at some point you're like uh uh so really what you have to ask first is so really what you have to ask first is so really what you have to ask first is what's the emotional territory? What what's the emotional territory? What what's the emotional territory? What should this never feel like? What's should this never feel like? What's should this never feel like? What's what's the reference? What's the what's the reference? What's the what's the reference? What's the audience? These are all really important audience? These are all really important audience? These are all really important questions to figure out. Like you can't questions to figure out. Like you can't questions to figure out. Like you can't go to a human design studio even if it's

  7. go to a human design studio even if it's go to a human design studio even if it's the best design studio in the world. You the best design studio in the world. You the best design studio in the world. You go to design director and you say like go to design director and you say like go to design director and you say like you know what I want to design for my you know what I want to design for my you know what I want to design for my brand and a design dire not nods. It's brand and a design dire not nods. It's brand and a design dire not nods. It's like got it and then walks away. That like got it and then walks away. That like got it and then walks away. That doesn't make any sense. Like they doesn't make any sense. Like they doesn't make any sense. Like they obviously have to figure out what it is obviously have to figure out what it is obviously have to figure out what it is that you're trying to build and what that you're trying to build and what that you're trying to build and what you're trying to get out of it. you're trying to get out of it. you're trying to get out of it. Importantly on this example even sort of Importantly on this example even sort of Importantly on this example even sort of like the 2026 version of AI slop you like the 2026 version of AI slop you like the 2026 version of AI slop you know quickly vibe coded page nobody know quickly vibe coded page nobody know quickly vibe coded page nobody decided anything here decided anything here decided anything here like you just oneshotted this nobody like you just oneshotted this nobody like you just oneshotted this nobody decided anything on this page this was decided anything on this page this was decided anything on this page this was just I mean it's maybe competent but just I mean it's maybe competent but just I mean it's maybe competent but completely empty completely empty completely empty so my uh thesis that I make here and so my uh thesis that I make here and so my uh thesis that I make here and what I've been trying to build over the what I've been trying to build over the what I've been trying to build over the last couple months is a tool that gives last couple months is a tool that gives last couple months is a tool that gives you just the amount of control needed to you just the amount of control needed to you just the amount of control needed to steer your agent in the right direction steer your agent in the right direction steer your agent in the right direction with adjectives and verbs. with adjectives and verbs. with adjectives and verbs. And these are the types of words I'm And these are the types of words I'm And these are the types of words I'm talking about. Talking about words like talking about. Talking about words like talking about. Talking about words like make this bolder, make this quieter, uh make this bolder, make this quieter, uh make this bolder, make this quieter, uh distill this. So basically distill this. So basically distill this. So basically simplification, um polish this, um make simplification, um polish this, um make simplification, um polish this, um make it denser or harden this. Um harden for it denser or harden this. Um harden for it denser or harden this. Um harden for instance would mean uh make sure that instance would mean uh make sure that instance would mean uh make sure that this design works across the board.

  8. this design works across the board. this design works across the board. Maybe the performance is bad on certain Maybe the performance is bad on certain Maybe the performance is bad on certain devices. Maybe it's not responsive. Um, devices. Maybe it's not responsive. Um, devices. Maybe it's not responsive. Um, and so these are these are words and so these are these are words and so these are these are words that we use in the world of design. And that we use in the world of design. And that we use in the world of design. And I noticed when seeing two people attempt I noticed when seeing two people attempt I noticed when seeing two people attempt the exact same task and one is an the exact same task and one is an the exact same task and one is an engineer who's never really touched engineer who's never really touched engineer who's never really touched design at all and the other one is a design at all and the other one is a design at all and the other one is a designer um there's a stark difference designer um there's a stark difference designer um there's a stark difference even when they use the same model and even when they use the same model and even when they use the same model and same harness everything in the output same harness everything in the output same harness everything in the output that they're getting based on the that they're getting based on the that they're getting based on the language that they use. So, I've been language that they use. So, I've been language that they use. So, I've been trying to put that language basically trying to put that language basically trying to put that language basically compress it into a skill uh and into a compress it into a skill uh and into a compress it into a skill uh and into a system to be able to express yourselves system to be able to express yourselves system to be able to express yourselves better. And so, for example, you could better. And so, for example, you could better. And so, for example, you could have like a baseline um over here, but have like a baseline um over here, but have like a baseline um over here, but then you make it bolder and the agent then you make it bolder and the agent then you make it bolder and the agent actually knows what bolder in your actually knows what bolder in your actually knows what bolder in your context means. You make it quieter, it context means. You make it quieter, it context means. You make it quieter, it knows what it means. You distill and it knows what it means. You distill and it knows what it means. You distill and it knows what it means. Um, but then bolder how what does bolder Um, but then bolder how what does bolder mean in the context of your project?

  9. mean in the context of your project? mean in the context of your project? That's a really important question That's a really important question That's a really important question because as you could tell at the because as you could tell at the because as you could tell at the beginning of the demo uh in the cold beginning of the demo uh in the cold beginning of the demo uh in the cold open uh when you just ask GPT or claude open uh when you just ask GPT or claude open uh when you just ask GPT or claude whatever make this bolder it doesn't whatever make this bolder it doesn't whatever make this bolder it doesn't know anything about what you mean. Uh know anything about what you mean. Uh know anything about what you mean. Uh now it has its own sense of reference of now it has its own sense of reference of now it has its own sense of reference of like what boulder could mean but it will like what boulder could mean but it will like what boulder could mean but it will do whatever it wants right it will do whatever it wants right it will do whatever it wants right it will invent new colors it will invent new invent new colors it will invent new invent new colors it will invent new gradients. it will I mean it doesn't gradients. it will I mean it doesn't gradients. it will I mean it doesn't matter um what it actually means in matter um what it actually means in matter um what it actually means in impeccable impeccable impeccable not gradients not glass not neon but not gradients not glass not neon but not gradients not glass not neon but actually hierarchy scale decisive type actually hierarchy scale decisive type actually hierarchy scale decisive type so uh things that uh don't break your so uh things that uh don't break your so uh things that uh don't break your design system and adequately raise the design system and adequately raise the design system and adequately raise the attention that the user would put on it attention that the user would put on it attention that the user would put on it uh and this is an actual sentence from uh and this is an actual sentence from uh and this is an actual sentence from the the file that is loaded when you say the the file that is loaded when you say the the file that is loaded when you say bolder impeccable um show someone your bolder impeccable um show someone your bolder impeccable um show someone your work and say AI make this bolder made work and say AI make this bolder made work and say AI make this bolder made this bolder if they believe you you this bolder if they believe you you this bolder if they believe you you failed this is something that we failed this is something that we failed this is something that we actually instruct the agent to do for actually instruct the agent to do for actually instruct the agent to do for themselves and then the agent oftent themselves and then the agent oftent themselves and then the agent oftent times reflects and like I don't know times reflects and like I don't know times reflects and like I don't know think I did some bad work here think I did some bad work here think I did some bad work here an adjective is a light wart and a light an adjective is a light wart and a light an adjective is a light wart and a light wart such a German term and Matt Puk wart such a German term and Matt Puk wart such a German term and Matt Puk actually talked about this recently uh actually talked about this recently uh actually talked about this recently uh who also makes some really excellent who also makes some really excellent who also makes some really excellent skills. And so this is uh stolen by one skills. And so this is uh stolen by one skills. And so this is uh stolen by one of his tweets, but I really think uh um of his tweets, but I really think uh um of his tweets, but I really think uh um it makes a lot of sense. Um these are

  10. it makes a lot of sense. Um these are it makes a lot of sense. Um these are words that h that you basically imbue words that h that you basically imbue words that h that you basically imbue with meaning that you infuse with with meaning that you infuse with with meaning that you infuse with meaning and they mean something. They meaning and they mean something. They meaning and they mean something. They already mean something to the model, but already mean something to the model, but already mean something to the model, but then you translate this into the area then you translate this into the area then you translate this into the area that you're interested in that you're interested in that you're interested in and the right altitude really shifts. and the right altitude really shifts. and the right altitude really shifts. Um, now I don't think you can solve any Um, now I don't think you can solve any Um, now I don't think you can solve any problems at that altitude. That's super problems at that altitude. That's super problems at that altitude. That's super important too. Uh, there is still room important too. Uh, there is still room important too. Uh, there is still room for the very beginning. For instance, if for the very beginning. For instance, if for the very beginning. For instance, if you just want exploratory work and you you just want exploratory work and you you just want exploratory work and you just want to get something on the screen just want to get something on the screen just want to get something on the screen or you just want the last amount of or you just want the last amount of or you just want the last amount of polish. I don't think right now uh AI is polish. I don't think right now uh AI is polish. I don't think right now uh AI is good enough to replace humans for the good enough to replace humans for the good enough to replace humans for the last 5, 10, maybe even 20% of the work last 5, 10, maybe even 20% of the work last 5, 10, maybe even 20% of the work to get it from good to great. Uh but it to get it from good to great. Uh but it to get it from good to great. Uh but it does actually make it better. Now I've does actually make it better. Now I've does actually make it better. Now I've built tools for more than 20 years. I built tools for more than 20 years. I built tools for more than 20 years. I guess I'm dating myself here. Uh but guess I'm dating myself here. Uh but guess I'm dating myself here. Uh but whenever I build a tool, I actually map whenever I build a tool, I actually map whenever I build a tool, I actually map the workflow first. I think about what the workflow first. I think about what the workflow first. I think about what is the actual workflow of the target is the actual workflow of the target is the actual workflow of the target user that I'm trying to help. And the user that I'm trying to help. And the user that I'm trying to help. And the workflow of design is not linear. It's workflow of design is not linear. It's workflow of design is not linear. It's messy. Has many different stages. Uh messy. Has many different stages. Uh messy. Has many different stages. Uh there are different people involved. And there are different people involved. And there are different people involved. And so I kind of mapped every part of the so I kind of mapped every part of the so I kind of mapped every part of the process and thought about well what are process and thought about well what are process and thought about well what are the injection points along that route the injection points along that route the injection points along that route and how can we help along that route.

  11. and how can we help along that route. and how can we help along that route. And so you start with initialization And so you start with initialization And so you start with initialization with the shaping process of design uh with the shaping process of design uh with the shaping process of design uh you go over to uh crafting to iterating you go over to uh crafting to iterating you go over to uh crafting to iterating uh with all these verbs and adjectives uh with all these verbs and adjectives uh with all these verbs and adjectives and then to the actual harden and polish and then to the actual harden and polish and then to the actual harden and polish phase and finally you kind of bring it phase and finally you kind of bring it phase and finally you kind of bring it back to your design system. You do some back to your design system. You do some back to your design system. You do some tech debt cleanup design deck cleanup. tech debt cleanup design deck cleanup. tech debt cleanup design deck cleanup. Um, now here's one example of a command Um, now here's one example of a command Um, now here's one example of a command that I wasn't actually sure about that I wasn't actually sure about that I wasn't actually sure about shipping and it's called overdrive. Um, shipping and it's called overdrive. Um, shipping and it's called overdrive. Um, I basically built this uh built this I basically built this uh built this I basically built this uh built this command in Impeccable that uh tries to command in Impeccable that uh tries to command in Impeccable that uh tries to create something completely over the top create something completely over the top create something completely over the top and it was kind of like a a half of a and it was kind of like a a half of a and it was kind of like a a half of a joke maybe. Um, but people absolutely joke maybe. Um, but people absolutely joke maybe. Um, but people absolutely are rabbit about this about this thing. are rabbit about this about this thing. are rabbit about this about this thing. Um, and they love it. Um, and so this is Um, and they love it. Um, and so this is Um, and they love it. Um, and so this is just one example of I mean this is not just one example of I mean this is not just one example of I mean this is not oneshotted. Uh this is a um sort of oneshotted. Uh this is a um sort of oneshotted. Uh this is a um sort of realistic event horizon shader um that realistic event horizon shader um that realistic event horizon shader um that I've built for my shader library radiant I've built for my shader library radiant I've built for my shader library radiant shaders. But I did actually use the shaders. But I did actually use the shaders. But I did actually use the overdrive command for this to uh overdrive command for this to uh overdrive command for this to uh overdrive it even more uh and make it overdrive it even more uh and make it overdrive it even more uh and make it more ridiculous. So sometimes I come up more ridiculous. So sometimes I come up more ridiculous. So sometimes I come up with these uh commands I'm actually not with these uh commands I'm actually not with these uh commands I'm actually not sure about and I test them with the sure about and I test them with the sure about and I test them with the community and once it sticks uh I community and once it sticks uh I community and once it sticks uh I realize okay well there are more people realize okay well there are more people realize okay well there are more people who are getting joy out of this.

  12. who are getting joy out of this. who are getting joy out of this. Um Um Um oh here we go. Here we go. Okay. Um, an oh here we go. Here we go. Okay. Um, an oh here we go. Here we go. Okay. Um, an adjective with nothing behind is just a adjective with nothing behind is just a adjective with nothing behind is just a nicer prompt. So, you really have to nicer prompt. So, you really have to nicer prompt. So, you really have to tell the agent what you mean by the word tell the agent what you mean by the word tell the agent what you mean by the word that you're using. Uh, it it has so many that you're using. Uh, it it has so many that you're using. Uh, it it has so many different meanings uh within its different meanings uh within its different meanings uh within its training materials that you really have training materials that you really have training materials that you really have to tell it. Um, now here's another to tell it. Um, now here's another to tell it. Um, now here's another thing. thing. thing. I've gotten so many requests I've gotten so many requests I've gotten so many requests for an automatic way of using for an automatic way of using for an automatic way of using Impeccable. So many. It's so Impeccable. So many. It's so Impeccable. So many. It's so frustrating. Like so at least once a frustrating. Like so at least once a frustrating. Like so at least once a week somebody tweets at me say like you week somebody tweets at me say like you week somebody tweets at me say like you know what would be cool just let know what would be cool just let know what would be cool just let impeccable do all the work by itself. I impeccable do all the work by itself. I impeccable do all the work by itself. I don't have to decide on any command don't have to decide on any command don't have to decide on any command anymore. That's not the point. The point anymore. That's not the point. The point anymore. That's not the point. The point is to give you a way to steer what you is to give you a way to steer what you is to give you a way to steer what you want to end up with. It's never going to want to end up with. It's never going to want to end up with. It's never going to be a tool to oneshot design. That's not be a tool to oneshot design. That's not be a tool to oneshot design. That's not the intent. And I'll never I mean the intent. And I'll never I mean the intent. And I'll never I mean there's a pull request standing uh there's a pull request standing uh there's a pull request standing uh standing out right now that I'm going to standing out right now that I'm going to standing out right now that I'm going to close because of that. close because of that. close because of that. There is no auto and there will be no There is no auto and there will be no There is no auto and there will be no auto auto auto in my opinion and uh this is a bit in my opinion and uh this is a bit in my opinion and uh this is a bit awkward maybe for some of the next awkward maybe for some of the next awkward maybe for some of the next speakers but I think taste cannot be speakers but I think taste cannot be speakers but I think taste cannot be amplified uh sorry I think taste can be amplified uh sorry I think taste can be amplified uh sorry I think taste can be amplified I think I call this amplified amplified I think I call this amplified amplified I think I call this amplified craft uh and I think you can work with craft uh and I think you can work with craft uh and I think you can work with tools to sharpen your taste and bring tools to sharpen your taste and bring tools to sharpen your taste and bring out more of your taste I really do not out more of your taste I really do not out more of your taste I really do not think it can be lab ground lab grown I think it can be lab ground lab grown I think it can be lab ground lab grown I think it is uh taste by definition sort think it is uh taste by definition sort think it is uh taste by definition sort of is uh contextual It's cultural. It's of is uh contextual It's cultural. It's of is uh contextual It's cultural. It's scars. And once everybody replicates the

  13. scars. And once everybody replicates the scars. And once everybody replicates the same thing, it starts to become really same thing, it starts to become really same thing, it starts to become really muddy and we don't think of it as taste muddy and we don't think of it as taste muddy and we don't think of it as taste anymore. That's my opinion. And I know anymore. That's my opinion. And I know anymore. That's my opinion. And I know this is like a hotly contested topic. this is like a hotly contested topic. this is like a hotly contested topic. Uh, but I'm not trying to solve taste Uh, but I'm not trying to solve taste Uh, but I'm not trying to solve taste with my tools. with my tools. with my tools. Um, Um, Um, that's what I got. Uh, this was about that's what I got. Uh, this was about that's what I got. Uh, this was about finding the right level of control for finding the right level of control for finding the right level of control for design. Thank you very much. And, uh, I design. Thank you very much. And, uh, I design. Thank you very much. And, uh, I think I have time for a few questions if think I have time for a few questions if think I have time for a few questions if you have any. Thank you.
