ever since covid I haven't really done much photography with my camera. Am less interested in culling/editing photos and would rather spend that time coding or writing. And I can get by with just iPhone shots on trips. trimming down my lens collection quite a bit..

hot take these look like unusable dribbble garbage. 🗑️ wonder what would happen if you told AI to follow common patterns, OS HIGs, accessibility guidelines, gestalt principles, etc more closely

🤖 AI Designs are here *hot take* Designers dismissing AI could soon be out of jobs It's a good moment to embrace and learn how to bend AI to your advantage instead of missing out on a paradigm shift in what tools we use to work 📝 Prompts used are found in the image alt texts

As for design and engineering - people likely have a much less emotional connection than with writing. I don’t use Linear and think that I’m interacting with Karri’s handcrafted pixels (well, sometimes) or use iOS and think about having a connection with Sir Jony

But there are areas where AI writing would be amazing and I would have no qualms reading something written entirely by AI: - general news. I want to get info and dont care who it came from (of course.. is it biased? Etc) - technical documentation for code/APIs - manual for gear

Okay if the work was assisted by AI - not feel unlike hiring some editors to mark up your book drafts and help you refine. But if original thought and creativity was entirely outsourced (for editorials especially), that would be a bad place for AI to take us.

I may pick out a book or blog post because it’s from a certain author. One whose experiences, debate, thoughts I want to connect with, have an emotional connection, and/or value in a certain way. Not sure I would be pleased to find out their latest work was 100% AI written

Will people care if something was written, built or designed by AI and not a human? I think for some types of writing (not stuff like technical manuals and code docs which AI would be great for) this could be a concern.

Imagine in the future designers training their own AI models for their specific design aesthetic with their own training data and selling their models not unlike like folks that sell their own Lightroom/etc filters

This is slick. AI-generated copy suggestions directly in Figma with a single right-click So excited for all that AI will bring to design

✨ get intelligent copy suggestions inline while you type in @figma @diagram got early access to Figma's new text review API and combined it with magician.design to power a new way to use Magic Copy

I asked ChatGPT how AI will influence the role of product design: "these technologies could be used to generate design ideas or to quickly iterate through different design options, freeing up designers to focus on the more creative aspects of the process."

i want and to have a baby - a slick, standalone native mac app made for *code reviews* github code reviews get unwieldy quickly. hard to find the latest comments, resolving conflicts could be better, feels like endless scrolling.. needs better wayfinding

At a dinner with top designers. Not a single one thinks Auto Layout is the future — and almost all the designers remove Auto Layout from components 4-5x a week

I've always wondered about the origins of the term "chrome" when referring to UI -- the design elements and controls of your app in plain view, typically at the periphery and not a focal point. But sounds like the origin may have been about the super shiny prominent parts?
