All these people saying UI/UX is dead, then I see their designs and they're absolutely the worst (but they're always swearing by how incredible it is).
Sorry access to an LLM (even if it could center a div reliably and make a responsive designs, it can't) does not give you taste, intuition or make you good at building user interfaces. You people/sloppers have no idea the amount of sweat that gets poured into great UX.
Its insulting when you people say these things and Im not even a designer or frontend dev.
I actually think UI/UX designers and devs will be the last to fall. I will want beautiful products that were built by beautiful minds, thats how you will set yourself apart from the slop. And fortunately it will be even easier when 80% of everything is half assed cranked out UI by llm design tools. The contrast is already glaring.
as an aside, i do find it interesting how people around me are more reluctant to have an ai design the look of an app vs a human, yet having an ai design the more important parts (how it works) is totally fine to them...
i could say the same about code though... why is ui/ux some sacred cow but code isn't? its just as important no?
playing devils advocate, but again, why is code any different?
Its not, I dont think LLMs should be writing code for anything important.
UI/UX or dev isn't dead.
It will be shrinking. Less grunt work.
Internal projects can get done with less of either.
Nobody really cares about great UX or about how great someone can implement a CRUD app.
So there will be less need/fighting over such resources.
If I can just generate a usable UI for a hobby project I don't need to find some company to build it out. Sure, it will miss out on a lot of stuff but it's a trade off.
If someone else can build a product and needed a basic web shop / crud app, they don't need to find someone to implement that at a massive overcharge.
I’ve seen that slop but
Claude Design has barely been out for a month
And it’s fulfilled my needs better than v0, lovable, playwright via LLM or just iterating in the coding LLM. I’ve worked with graphic designers my whole career and have also contracted design agencies to do style guides and collaborate on branding and layouts. I’ve gotten the output that I’m looking for with Claude Design
eventually you’ll see examples but its not in my purview to publicly link any of my projects as being vibe coded
Lmao claude design sucks ass. You have low standards.
