Great products often hinge on a core moment that delights or surprises, not a thousand mediocre features.

The amount of time spent on fact-checking might be as equal as checking something you already worked on from the past years. If that’s so, how much resources we actually saved in this process?

Another thing that keeps bothering me is how much we can trust AI output. For most AI outputs, we are strongly advised to check them before signing them off.

We will be blamed for AI-centric design rather than human-centric design, and we will lose humanity in delivering our work.

This will create a dangerous positive feedback loop, eventually becoming an echo chamber of low-quality experiences emerging from decisions that lack careful thought and extensive user research.

We also face a future where every interface and every app starts to look the same, as AI tools reference those available on the cloud (and most of these references are low-quality designs).

If component creation is fully automated by AI, we miss out on the joy of creating things from scratch and polishing them meticulously.

What I fear about relying entirely on AI in the creation process:

The clarity embedded in design language builds trust between the objects and the persons using them.

The straightforwardness in design is not simply being minimalistic, it’s about making decisions visible. You could understand how things are built, why a material was chosen and what an object was meant to do just by looking at it.

the quality of details says a lot about the amount of love poured into a project. In other words: if I don’t genuinely care about what I’m creating, why should anyone else?

Instead, tokens should be introduced later, when patterns have settled and teams are already relying on them, to formalise existing decisions and improve consistency.

Design tokens are often introduced too early, before teams have established shared understanding and agreement on naming and component behaviour. This can lead to disagreements and hinder progress.

Always a bit sad when a talented indie software designer joins a big company

Their unique creative voice will get absorbed into the corporate mass, and we won't get to see much of their own creative output again (especially at a company like Apple, where 99.9% of things never make it out the doors)

AI Is Causing Cultural Stagnation, Researchers Find — Futurism

“…researchers found that a text-to-image generator, when linked up with an image-to-text system and instructed to iterate over and over again, eventually converges on ‘very generic-looking images’ they dubbed ‘visual elevator music.’”
