How do we maintain curated, gloriously mismatching interiors in a world of AI generated design? The time it takes to flip over the page creates suspense and encourages young minds to use their imagination. Designing with artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT feels quite the opposite of the whimsical and suspenseful sketches of children’s illustrations. In its own words, AI ‘creates realistic visualisations to help you explore different design styles before making decisions’. Maurice Sendak and Beatrix Potter would surely be horrified by – ironically – the infantilisation of active minds through AI.
