There's a new "design is dead, because AI" piece (thinly disguised marketing from Anthropic). But looking past the hype headlines, their claims cover purely production-stage tasks.
When it comes to the work of understanding user needs and evaluating the opportunity space, AI actually makes your thinking worse. Studies show that it alienates you from users and colleagues, and flattens your thinking.
We need more human-centered practice, not less.
Software is a coordination problem. AI can't help you with that.
The feedback loops of the product delivery lifecycle go through people. Adding AI makes this process slower, not faster.
