With AI, anyone can make a decent-looking screen now. So a lot of the work is knowing what to cut.
If you one-shot it with AI, it usually looks like everyone else's, because it learned from everyone else's.

So true. Knowing what to cut is where the real design work is now. Great point Daniel.

Agree. AI gives you the average of everything it has seen, so the design work moves to taste and editing. The distinctive part usually comes from the product's real context, the users and the constraints, which no model knows unless you do.

So true. Taste is the real skill now. Knowing what to remove is what makes it feel designed.

Agree, the cutting is where the taste shows. AI gets you to average fast, and the editing is what makes it look like a specific brand.
