Designer on why he doesn't fear AI: design is a process, not an artifact
floguo · x · 2026-11-06
Designer floguo shares a long reflection on AI and automation: he has never feared being automated away as a designer, because machines are not flesh — they lack his lived experiences and embodied wisdom. He argues design is not a profession or an outcome but a process and a way of being; seemingly random paths like passion and unconventionality connect the dots in hindsight, and breaking convention breeds an edge. He says he is here to craft systems rather than one-offs, married to no particular process or tool — live, learn, teach, then move on.
