Everyone’s asking, “When not AI?”
That’s the wrong question.
The real one is: Who’s accountable for the judgment?
Use AI for speed, drafts, and patterns.
But when decisions affect people, values, or long-term direction.
That’s a human responsibility.
A few months ago, after clearing three interview rounds,
I was rejected for a test task not for the solution.
But for using AI to write comments above my functions.
That’s the real gap.
AI isn’t the problem.
We’re just not trained to use it well yet.

I wanna know the most UNHINGED way you're using AI. And I mean truly unhinged.
I'm trying to seriously level up my AI skills and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what's possible
I'm not talking about cute little ChatGPT prompts or asking AI to write your emails.
I wanna hear about the crazy workflows, agents, automations, and things you've built that make you go wait you can actually DO that?!
Especially the stuff most people don't even realize is possible.
What tools are you using? What have you automated? What are you making AI do that would've sounded insane two years ago?
And if you know of any good bootcamps, courses, creators you follow, or other resources to learn this stuff, PLEASE share.
Thank you!!
Has AI taken my job yet? 👀
As a designer, I feel like I constantly need to keep up with new tools and products, if only to keep my "has a computer replaced me already?" anxiety under control
At first, we expected AI to do everything with one click
Then we moved on to writing ridiculously long and detailed prompts
And now I feel like we're finally getting to a healthier place with our expectations: build a good system → get good results
I went to play with Recraft's new Logo Maker to see if AI can actually make decent logos now
Weeeeell, you can see the result for yourself! 🤩
Sure, it's not a magic button that reads your mind and does everything for you. But if you have a clear sense of your brand's style and personality, the results can be surprisingly good
Left - my usual aesthetic. Right - Recraft's take on me
So, what do you think of my one-click logo?
Does it feel like me? 🪩✨
“Build a good system, get good results” is exactly where I’ve landed too. The tool only goes as far as your sense of what you’re after. How many tries did it take to get there?
I think the real shift isn't AI replacing designers, it's changing what makes a designer valuable.
When everyone has access to the same tools, taste, creative direction and the ability to build a strong visual identity become the real differentiators.
The tool can generate a logo. Knowing what makes it the Right Logo is a different story.

Exactly — taste and direction now matter most.
