Yep... this has been my argument as to why I'm not afraid of AI design generation just yet. Whenever a style becomes cheap and easy to achieve, a more "expensive" expression rises to communicate innovation, craft, and exclusivity.
expect to see more "artifacts of humanity" in creative work that demonstrate the human inputs behind the work that ultimately appeal to the viewer's heart and soul -> subtle digital equivalents of dust on negatives -> more "story behind the work" -> more transparency of process

Uncomfortable truth. Marketing is part of the product experience.

For this year's Pointless Palooza, one team had fun building HYPT, a tool that uses OpenAI to create hype speeches for sports. Learn how we approached prompt engineering to craft tailored speeches and get HYPT off the bench and into the game. https://t.co/pp8ZGN86QI

Most designers believe they’re in the R&D department. Most businesses believe design is part of the production team. Therein lies conflict.

I name every single Figma layer for the same reason certain chefs fire people for tearing kitchen tape at a rough angle — a clear and uncluttered mind in the small things has cumulative effects on the quality of your work. The way you do anything is the way you do everything.

when I worry about my kids wasting too much time on iPad games, I recall the countless hours of my childhood spent on this…and then I feel better.
