"Well, it's clear from the academic studies that traditional design methods are being innovated: UX practitioners are harnessing AI, leading to efficiencies and lowering costs for organisations in the process. The benefits are undeniable. UX design has fundamentally changed in the past 2-3 years, and it's probably career suicide to deny that. In fact, more UX designers might need to let go of conventional design stages and activities to allow for even more innovative processes empowered by AI."
"However, there are potential drawbacks if AI usage in UX design is over-relied on, and used mindlessly. Without sufficient critical thinking, we can easily end up with generic, biased designs that don't actually solve user problems. In some cases, we might even spend too much time on prompting and vibing with AI when we could have simply sketched or prototyped something ourselves - creating more sense of ownership in the process."
Traditional UX design methods are being reinvented as practitioners harness AI to increase efficiency and reduce organisational costs. UX workflows have shifted substantially over the past two to three years, enabling faster transitions from concept to functional, testable solutions. Designers may need to abandon rigid stage-based handovers to exploit AI-powered rapid prototyping and iteration. Overreliance on AI without critical thinking risks producing generic, biased solutions that fail to solve real user problems. Excessive time spent crafting prompts can reduce hands-on sketching and prototyping that build ownership. Empirical findings validate these trends while leaving open future developments.
