Designing with AI as a core skill

This piece is about shifting from “using AI as a tool” to building your design workflow around it, with a lot of focus on faster iteration, better.

That “workflow built around AI” framing makes me a little nervous, because speed is the easy part.

Yeah, “built around AI” reads a bit like “built around autocomplete” — you’ll ship more, sure, but you can still ship the wrong thing faster. I’ve found the useful skill is staying ruthless about the brief and the user’s words (AI can draft, but it can’t tell you when the label will start a two-week revolt).

“Built around AI” mostly just means you’ve cranked the speed knob on whatever your team already does — including the bad habits.

If the brief is fuzzy and nobody’s talking to users, you’ll ship the wrong thing faster and somehow feel more certain about it.
