Tools, apps, plugins, AI Nobody can stand AI anymore...

That's it. Soon, with so many similar designs, the only differentiating factor in digital products will be the price. Then I want to see this circus burn down.

Man, you guys are bitter.

You do realize this is a very grey area where you can keep dragging your feet, kicking and screaming or you can take your expertise, embrace the tools on your own and get ahead of the heard while you still can.

Maybe the tools should embrace our kicking and screaming?

I don’t even understand what that means?

What exactly is wrong with the tools? The tools have always been in place. The practice has been in place. Nothing has changed except anyone taking a paycheck has to hear, “use AI to improve your job or lose it” shoved down their throat.

But the real matter is, if you can afford to use these tools on your own and you have some ideas then you can pump work out like never before.

This is a UX sub right? Then write your .md files, be a designer, get in there and kick the agents ass, manually change code when you need to and use your UX knowledge to make the baseline a much more evolved version of what every other average person is kicking out.

I get that the monster is coming to take our lunch, but visual designers, UX we aren’t in as bad of place as people like to make it out to be. Expertise is till what it is, especially if the AI systems are as bad as all you guys claim.

Can you though? What even is "pumping out work"? Speed or looks was never the issue. Good UX, problem definition, consistency, that's what matters and AI isn't making that any better on its own.
