Definitely faster, but where's the better?

Faster is easy to see. Whether it's better takes someone looking.

In Part 4 of 5 of our AI Readiness conversation, my co-hosts Trisha Merriam and Erin Wiggers and I looked at a picture Nectar made for the episode. My first reaction was that it didn't hit.

Trisha's take: "that's definitely faster."

Mine: "I don't know where the better is."

And Erin's: "I just like the vibe, the aesthetic. Like, I want to go to there."

Before you count fast as better, say where the better is.
