"When I think about the future of design, I can't help but feel sorrow. It's as if I'm sitting at the bedside of a dying loved one, dreading the moment they'll no longer be with us. Design isn't a person, per se, but for many of us it is - or was - a meaningful part of our lives. And the notion that design, as we know it, may wither feels almost certain."
"My main prediction has been that AI will become so ubiquitous and efficient it will absorb nearly every experience that once required traditional design as a mediator. This isn't a doom-and-gloom prediction - it's a rational conclusion drawn from the current trajectory of the industry. I am becoming more convinced that this [the shift toward users interacting with their agents rather than websites] will mark the end of user interface design as we know it."
Design faces a potential transformation as AI becomes more ubiquitous and efficient. Many experiences that once required traditional design could be absorbed by AI-driven agents, challenging the existence of current user interface practices. This shift may reduce opportunities for designers, particularly newcomers hoping to build through traditional methods. Despite this, optimism among students and junior designers persists, driven by curiosity and openness. That youthful ignorance can foster innovation and new ideas, suggesting that fresh perspectives may be essential for navigating or reshaping the future of design in an AI-dominated landscape.
