AI is amazing.
But the amount of horrible AI work being pumped out by people with zero creative instinct is equally impressive.
The tool got smarter.
The taste level, apparently, did not.
AI is not killing design. It is killing the old design workflow.
That is a very different thing.
The fundamentals still matter. Taste matters. Composition matters. Brand thinking matters. Good ideas matter. What changed is the path from concept to execution.
Teaching kids only traditional design tools today feels a bit like teaching film development in the digital age. The roots still matter. The principles still matter. But the real world and the creative process have changed.
The designer of the future is not just someone who knows software. It is someone who can think, direct, edit, refine, and make fast decisions with strong creative judgment.
That is where the value is moving.
Design is not dead.
It has entered a new era.

Prompt: "Create a premium World Cup 2026 brand guideline board split into three unified sections for Canada, USA, and Mexico, each with its own distinct national color palette and modern football branding system. Canada should feel bold, clean, and refined in red and white. USA should feel dynamic, sharp, and high-performance in red, white, and blue. Mexico should feel vibrant, rhythmic, and culturally rich in green, red, and white. Include logo exploration, typography, color palettes, patterns, iconography, layout principles, and sample applications. Make it look like a FIFA-level creative direction presentation, ultra-polished, editorial, modern, grid-based, and visually striking for an X post. No cheap poster look, clutter, cartoon styling, generic soccer elements, or blurry text."
Just tested GPT Image 2.0 on a World Cup 2026 brand guideline concept and honestly… this is a massive jump.
I gave it one compact prompt asking for a unified creative system split across Canada, USA, and Mexico, and it came back with two strong but very different directions.
The prompt will be in the comments below.

This is the future of photography.
Simulated inside a 3D environment, enhanced and generated by diffusion.
The new tools get more and more like the old tools minus the headache of 3D pipelines.
Mark Cuban just delivered the most important career warning of the decade.
There are 33 million businesses in America right now.
Almost none of them have an AI strategy.
@mcuban has been saying it out loud for months.
The companies that will dominate the next ten years are not the ones with the biggest tech budgets.
They are the ones that figure out agentic AI first.
Here is what agentic AI actually means.
It is software that sets its own goals, takes its own steps, and finishes entire jobs without a human pressing a single button,
The businesses that need it most have no idea it even exists.
Cuban is not talking about Google or Microsoft.
He is talking about the HVAC company on your street, the bakery downtown, the law firm with twelve employees.
Those businesses are running on spreadsheets and gut instinct right now.
Meanwhile, the technology to replace their most expensive, most repetitive work costs twenty dollars a month.
Cuban told students directly, pick up Python, get inside Claude, learn how these agents work.
Because thirty-three million small businesses are about to desperately need someone who can walk in the door and build this for them.
He compared it to his own story at age twenty-four, walking into businesses that had never seen a PC and showing them what a computer could do.
That moment minted a generation of millionaires.
This moment is that again.
@BarbellFi Dumbest take I’ve heard in a long time. I have never regretted putting in the pool and creating memories with kids and family by the pool over the years.
