AI is Rewriting the Rules of Design

This shared article speaks to those still working in design, asserting that AI has fundamentally rewritten the design landscape.
The piece points out that copy, processes, and interfaces that previously took half a day of diligent work can now be generated in seconds via prompts. While this lowers the barrier to entry, it also causes anxiety among designers who previously relied on the scarcity of these skills. Rather than rejecting AI, the author emphasizes the need to reassess the value of design, as the mere act of "producing an interface" is becoming increasingly less scarce.
