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.

here’s the visual that caught my eye from the piece.

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).

AI’s turning into a legit design tool, not just a quick fix.

The key skill is guiding it with clear constraints so the results actually work. For example, setting specific style or format rules keeps the output on point.

Same. feels like we’re speedrunning “learn prompts” as if it’s a design principle.

“learn prompts” is giving me big 2012 “just learn Photoshop” energy. the skill still looks like taste + iteration, not magic words.

the only way it’s been useful for me is treating the model like a sketch buddy—generate a bunch of rough directions fast, then my constraints and critique loop decide what survives.
