Stop Putting AI Behind a Chat Box
Every AI product ships with the same blinking cursor and blank text box. It's time designers stopped accepting the chat prompt as the default — and started inventing interaction models that actually fit how people work.
AI Removed the Gatekeepers — and Your Safety Net
AI tools promise designers unprecedented autonomy — fewer gatekeepers, more agency. But what happens when those 'bottlenecks' were actually the guardrails catching your blind spots?
Your Users Don't Want AI — Now You Have to Label It
The EU's new AI labelling guidelines create an awkward design problem: how do you prominently disclose something your users never asked for in the first place?
Guilty Until Proven Human
YouTube penalised Kurzgesagt's handcrafted animation as AI-generated slop. When audiences and algorithms can't tell craft from AI, your design process becomes your most valuable proof.
Stop Shipping AI Nobody Asked For
The tech industry keeps shipping AI features nobody asked for. The real design challenge isn't building with AI — it's knowing when not to.
AI Won't Tell You You're Building the Wrong Thing
AI tools let you build a prototype in a weekend. But speed without validation is just the fastest route to the wrong product. The real design skill now isn't building — it's knowing what's worth building.
Your Users Don't Want More AI. Now What?
The design community is converging on an uncomfortable truth: most people don't want more AI features. They want the right ones, in the right places, delivered in ways they'll never notice.
Your AI Is Guessing. Your UI Should Admit It.
AI deals in probabilities, but most interfaces present its outputs as certainties. It's time designers learned to communicate confidence — not just content.
Your Design System Has a New User — And It's Not Human
AI tools are only as good as the design systems they read. If your tokens are messy and your docs are vague, no model can save you — it's time to design for your system's newest, least forgiving user.
Your AI Isn't Sure — And That's the Point
AI tools deliver confident-sounding recommendations, but confidence isn't certainty. Probabilistic design — and tools like CSS's contrast-color() — show us how to build systems that embrace uncertainty instead of hiding it.
