As my career has progressed, soft skills like clear communication and facilitation became crucial for successful projects. This shift often meant sacrificing time for deep dives into new software or techniques.
The best analogy I have for AI's potential in design is how we use maps on our smartphones today. Now, we simply start walking in a general direction, relying on our phones for real-time guidance.
With tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney, I feel like I have an agency of skilled collaborators at my fingertips. This creates a newfound creative confidence, allowing me to 'work it out on the way'.
This broad, if sometimes shallow, skill set is turning out to be a significant advantage in the age of AI.
