Is AI going to take designers jobs?
I’ve watched this debate run in circles on LinkedIn for six months. Now here’s a funny twist: Anthropic is closing the standalone Claude Design site on December 14 and folding it into Claude’s Artifacts. Even the AI companies keep rethinking how this should work 😄
Here’s what I believe: good design was never just about producing visuals. It’s taste, empathy, and a hundred small decisions that someone has to own. A prompt can’t make those for you.
I use AI every day. It handles the repetitive work and saves me hours. But the thinking, the direction, and the final touch stay with me.
"AI made it, so it’s done” is not how good design happens.
AI-powered, not AI-dependent. 🎯
Designers, be proud of what you bring. The tools will keep changing. Human creativity still matters.
Same thing is happening in product work. AI can draft a spec in minutes, but deciding what to cut and owning that call is still the job. The speed made judgment more valuable, not less.

One page with brand, web and product UI together is a strong move. Clients see the range without clicking around. Rebuilding mine with AI coding tools taught me the same thing: the speed lets you spend the saved time on the case study writing, which is what actually wins work.
