ARTICLE SUMMARY: When it comes to AI and design, nobody could have predicted the rate of growth or the impact it would have on the creative community.
Like all new things, there are people who are leery of change and take a wait-and-see attitude, or just dabble in its use without ever making a serious effort to explore how this technology can enhance their design career. That will be a costly mistake.
In Srivats Mutalik’s “99% of UI/UX Designers Still Don’t Use ChatGPT-5 to Its Full Potential – Here’s How to Join the 1%” he wants designers to understand that AI is nothing more than a tool, and, more importantly, how to get the most out of that tool. He explains:

It is significant to note that designers who master AI are faster because they are operating on an entirely different level of creativity, insight, and strategic value. Designers who don’t master AI will be left in the dust by those who can now prototype in hours, validate concepts overnight, and present data-backed design decisions like seasoned product managers.
There is an old saying: “If you sit around long enough, nothing will happen.” When it comes to technology, designers cannot afford to sit around even for a short time and then try to play catch-up. Innovation waits for no one; falling behind means missed opportunities, outdated skills, and losing ground to those who keep up and adapt to the new design landscape.
