UX Design is dead - long live UX Design
March 5, 2025
The rise of AI has sparked a lot of fear in the design industry and other creative fields, and UX design is no exception. Will AI replace designers? The short answer: no. But the long answer? Designers who don’t embrace AI might find themselves replaced by those who do.
AI is a tool, not a replacement
UX design isn’t just about recognizing patterns or applying best practices. It’s about understanding human behavior, questioning assumptions, and accounting for edge cases AI struggles with. Sure, AI can generate wireframes, suggest UI layouts, and automate tedious tasks, but it lacks the ability to think critically, challenge norms, and design with empathy.
The best designers won’t fear AI. Instead, they’ll use it to amplify their creativity and efficiency. Think of AI as an assistant that speeds up workflows, not a threat to your job.
The designers at risk
If your job revolves around following templates, applying best practices without question, and doing exactly what you’re told, AI might come for you. The industry is evolving, and repetitive, rule-based tasks are becoming automated. The value of a UX designer isn’t in clicking buttons—it’s in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creating intuitive experiences that AI alone can’t replicate.
How to stay ahead
Leverage AI, don’t fight it
Use AI tools for brainstorming, rapid prototyping, and automating repetitive tasks so you can focus on strategy and innovation.
Develop critical thinking skills
AI can generate designs, but it can’t question whether those designs make sense for users. That’s your job.
Focus on accessibility and inclusivity
AI often struggles with designing for diverse user needs. A great designer ensures digital experiences work for everyone.
Stay curious
The UX field is always evolving. Keep learning, testing, and adapting to new technologies.
The future of UX design
AI isn’t the enemy—it’s a powerful tool that, when used right, can make designers even more valuable. The ones who will thrive are those who see AI as an opportunity, not a threat.
So, will AI replace UX designers in the future? Not the ones who know how to think beyond the screen.

Why building a website is harder than you think

5 sneaky tricks marketers use to influence buying decisions
Ever bought something on impulse and wondered why? That’s no accident, marketers use psychological tricks to nudge your decisions every day and people often don’t notice.
From pricing illusions to decision-making hacks, here are five sneaky ways companies get inside your head (and how you can use them to your advantage).
The fall of Arc: Great design isn’t enough to save a browser
Arc wasn’t just a browser, it was a bold reimagining of how the internet could feel. It was sleek, focused, and built for creativity. But now, the browser that once felt like the future is quietly fading away.
For many people, Arc Browser felt like the first browser actually made for users and not just ad revenue. So why is it suddenly being discontinued?
Why breaking design rules makes you a better designer
Many new designers believe good design means following the rules. Stick to the grid, use safe colors, and align everything perfectly. While these rules offer structure, they can stifle creativity and make designs feel predictable. The truth is, breaking rules can often lead to better, more unique designs.
But the big question is: When should you follow the rules and when should you break them?
6 smart ways to improve website clarity and UX
You’ve got 3 seconds. That’s how long it takes for visitors to decide whether to stay on your site or bounce. In those few moments, your website needs to make a great first impression.
The hero section, typically the first thing people see, should instantly communicate three things:
1. Who you are
2. What you do
3. What makes you different
If it doesn’t do all three, it’s time for a refresh.
Is Google selling Chrome? What you need to know
Maybe you've been seeing headlines about Google maybe having to sell Chrome. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is pushing some big changes that could actually reshape how we browse the internet.
So what’s happening? Why is the U.S. government going after Google’s browser in the first place? And what would it mean if Chrome wasn’t owned by Google anymore?
Let’s break it down.
