Here's my take -

UI/UX design is the most human-centric role IMO. It requires a real human being "with feelings" to empathize with another real human being who uses a product or a service. Although AI can aid in the design process, I don't think it has the ability to replace us designers completely.

How I use AI in my everyday design workflow

💬 ChatGPT

I leverage the good ol' ChatGPT to brainstorm new ideas, generate multiple design concepts, and to write UX content - since I'm not the best writer as you can tell. 🙂

The key is to be as specific as you can in your prompts. 

Instead of saying "Generate a description for a design newsletter", say "Generate a two sentence description that describes a UI/UX design newsletter that aims to curate top design picks and sends out a weekly email to design enthusiasts."

Be as specific as you can! ChatGPT will process every little detail you blurt out without complaining, unlike your partner. Sorry, had to! 😬

🪄 Uizard

Uizard is hands down my favorite AI-powered tool that I use to quickly generate multiple detailed user interfaces based on simple prompts, generate placeholder images and text. I can't begin to explain how many hours of the day this tool saves me when working on a new project.

The last thing I wanna do is ideate and design everything from scratch when I'm running low on time - especially when it's Friday, doesn't sound cute right.

To all my front-end engineering subscribers who don't have a lot of design help, I'd highly recommend checking uizard out - it really does some crazy wizardry!

I live by this everyday: "AI isn't going to replace designers. Designers who use AI are going to replace the ones who don't"
