Bruh why's South Africa acting like the continent doesn't support them. Maybe if you fixed up the continent would be behind you. Until then Boycott away!
I still insist.. Why didn’t Bruno make the pass to Mbeumo instead?? He was very clear and would have scored as well.
It would have been a big booster for him. Look how isolated Mbeumo has become lately. A shadow of himself!
Mbeumo cannot end the season feeling this way please.
This is really neat but it’s not a design tool as much as it’s a design _production_ tool.
The practice of design is mostly about what comes before production.
There’s no doubt in my mind that all parts of software production will become automated very soon. Writing code, making web pages, putting pieces of a design system together etc.
And that’s fine. I think few people actually enjoy this kind of production work. Wouldn’t it be better if we spent our precious time in life on what is more meaningful?!
At the core, the practice of design is methodical; like architecture, not like art. In a nutshell: We find constraints, form comprehension of the whole and propose solutions that honor those constraints. First after that do we enter some form of production phase, usually prototypes first, learn about some constraints that were hidden before, loop back, prototype and then build the production-grade “final” artifact.
These last few tasks are quickly losing value because AI tools can do it much faster (not yet better though) than humans. It’s simply just what has the best RoI for a business.
Some companies and individuals will continue to spend human time on certain parts of the “production line” as a market differentiator, but it will cost them a relatively high price compared to competitors.
Anyhow, I still haven’t seen a tool better than Figma that supports the actually-interesting part of the design process.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Figma focused their products on that, maybe separating “products for production” of “products for ideation & exploration.” The latter would obviously still leverage AI, but not to do the work for me but rather to support my efforts the way a therapist helps me live a better life (not living my life for me.)
Then all you do is actually not design screen that reflects human nuances but refine a prompt to produce the same thing any other model would. Hence no novelty or room for surprise.
The designer seems very removed from the solution they are proposing. Pointing the AI to the ticket to suggest design to latch on to removes the nuance of the question being asked and why it was asked in the first place.
When we ask AI to provide a solution it removes the designer from its place in the process and reframes the job as one of an optimizer of a predictable output.
While I understand the premise behind it I feel like that defeats the purpose.
