Designers and product managers can now quickly prototype and test ideas without the need for a fully fleshed-out plan, leading to more experimentation and innovation.
Language Models like LLMs are changing product design by allowing for faster iteration and handling complexity in a different way, enabling more adaptable interfaces that respond to user intent.
The use of advanced tools and automation in design processes is shifting the focus from pixel-pushing to strategic decision-making, with design adding value through judgment and understanding of the broader system.
While concerns about automation replacing designers persist, history shows that advancements in tools empower designers to do more impactful work, rather than eliminate the need for them.
