Yesterday I saw someone boast that as a designer he can just feed his figma file to an AI and “instantly get a working product”. “It’s not vibecoding”, he wrote on LinkedIn, “I am guiding the software”.
This saves him so much time he now has time left for freelance work! …
What is it with these people who think their expertise is the one thing AI can’t do, while shouting from the rooftops it can do everything and replace everyone else? 🤪 is this how some people mentally deal with this stuff?
@Anneke tbh it does seem that LLMs suck more at design then they do at writing code :)
IMO there is a kind of cross-competency-incompetence: it's easy for a designer to see that GenAIs can't design for shit, but you need a bit of skill to tell the code is shit.
Likewise, programmers can tell that code is shit, but have a hard time telling that a document is written terribly, cause they (we, I am one) are not trained on how to write well. Cue a million ai-slop blog posts. Repeat with any skill.
