- AI has not significantly sped up the design process or replaced design jobs despite hype.
- Good design requires a broader process, not one-off chats, making AI less effective for non-designers.
- AI struggles with novel, bold, or tightly constrained designs that are outside its training data.
- AI design tools are most useful for personal projects, internal prototyping, and small public projects.
- Designers should focus on complex, interdisciplinary, and novel tasks that AI cannot handle well.
- AI excels in low-complexity tasks like boilerplate code but fails in high-complexity or constrained projects.
- Designers should learn out-of-training-data skills and work within tight constraints to stay relevant.
- AI tools are best used for small, low-risk projects rather than end-to-end applications.
