The race is on. What will AI deliver first...? Production-ready code so PMs don't need engineers, or production-ready designs so PMs don't need designers?
The reality is that without domain experts (design, research, engineering, business, law) you're left trusting the AI to make the decision without a good way to check if it made the right one.
- alfalfasprout 2y agoOh you'll find out alright... when it's too late. I'm just waiting for a year or two from now when companies realize what a colossal hole they dug themselves in using a bunch of AI generated crap in production. We're already seeing it with marketing copy.
- kristopolous 2y agoDesign is different. It's become literally just whatever the boss likes. You can tell me about the math, theories and laws but look around you, nobody cares about those any more.
- Hoasi 2y ago> You can tell me about the math, theories and laws but look around you, nobody cares about those any more. It's true. Just a few years back, design thinking was all the rage. Nowadays, even apps from flagship companies feel all over the place. Attention to detail, unobtrusive interface, intelligent symbols, subdued color palettes, rich illustrations, all that is out the window now. Why should we need good design when we can replace it with cheaper "AI" templates?
- hbosch 2y agoWhen UX designers started to look at their job more like science than art, the tech world became more boring, dull, and soulless.
- kristopolous 2y agoWhen did that happen? It's gone from science to pure aesthetics. I wouldn't label it "art", it's merely vibes based. Read design books from the 1980s versus today. They aren't the same planet.
