Description: AI is transforming interior design, but let’s set the record straight—there are still plenty of things AI can’t do (at least not yet). In this episode, Jenna Gaidusek tackles some of the biggest misconceptions about AI in the design world. Can AI fully design a space? Can it replace professional designers? Is it capable of generating accurate 3D models or picking the perfect furniture? Jenna breaks it all down, sharing real-world insights on where AI falls short and why designers still hold the creative power.

Plus, she dives into the risks of tech companies prioritizing mass-market solutions over professional-grade tools—and what that means for the future of interior designers. If you’ve ever wondered how much AI can really do for your business (and what you should be cautious about), this episode is a must-listen.
