Q: AI. Are you using it? What do you think? Where is it at?
Haris describes AI as a brute force tool for idea generation and research when used properly, but stresses that the human hand is essential and AI should not be the final output. He emphasizes using AI to augment strategy, frameworks, and workflows while maintaining authentic, human creativity.
