ARTICLE SUMMARY: There’s no question that artificial intelligence has caused quite a stir in the design community. For the most part, it seems there’s no middle ground—you’re either pro or con.
The notion that you can’t do design without AI—that you either learn AI or you’re doomed—could not be further from the truth. As the author points out, using AI is no different than using Figma; it’s just another tool to learn and use, not a requirement for good design.
In “Stop Worrying So Much About AI,” Ed Orozco looks into both sides of this issue and through personal experience shares his observations and opinion on this matter, he talks about:
- Summarizers
- Vibe Coding Tools
- What You Should Be Worrying About: Working With People
Like all new things, artificial intelligence can be downright scary and intimidating. The only way to get past that is to sit down and give it a spin—play with different tools and test what they can do. The time you spend experimenting will be time well spent.
In closing, Ed’s advice is simple and straight to the point: if you’re going to make it in UX/UI design, rather than worrying about what AI can do, focus on improving what you can do.
If you’re worried about AI and how it will affect you, this article is for you. Please let us know what you think in the comments.
