AI won’t replace designers– it’ll cull the ones who treat creativity as a checklist. The tools aren’t the threat, complacency is. If your ‘craft’ is dragging pre-built components into frames, you’re not a designer- you’re a librarian. Figma, v0, whatever’s next– they’re all just mirrors. They reflect clarity of intent, not replace it. The magic isn’t in the output, it’s in closing the fidelity gap. Half-assed execution dies because the excuses die first. ‘I didn’t have time’ evaporates when you can turn a napkin sketch into code in 10 seconds. Adapt or get roadkill’d by the kid with a vision and a Lovable subscription. Obsess over artifacts, not the process.
