We put Moda's $7.5M "taste" pitch and Google Stitch to the test with a deliberately chaotic brief. The results say a lot about where AI design actually is, and isn't. We unpack why Silicon Valley keeps claiming "taste" as a competitive moat, what that means for designers' careers, and whether AI homogenisation might accidentally make great design more valuable.

Does AI have taste?

Why Does This Feel Weird? is the podcast for anyone who feels unsettled by our rapidly changing world of technology but can’t quite put their finger on why.

Hosted by a researcher (Alex) and a strategist (Jacob), listen to us explore the psychological and social impact of living through weird, wonderful and sometimes terrifying technological change. No hype, no panic - just two friends trying to make sense of a world that feels increasingly surreal.

New episodes weekly. Because the world keeps getting weirder, and we're all just trying to keep up.
