AI isn’t a tool, it’s the backbone of design now.
But:
1️⃣ Users want a “why?” button. Transparency isn’t optional, it’s the UX.
2️⃣ We’re not just designers; we’re creative directors for robots.
3️⃣ “AI slop” is real. Same prompts = same boring outputs. Stand out or fade away.
The fix?
✔️ Let users override AI.
✔️ Use AI for heavy lifting, but own the story.
✔️ Generate ideas, but let humans decide, especially for accessibility.
