💡 Key Topics:

✦ Why "will AI replace designers" is the wrong question, and what it actually replaced

✦ The Figma stat that frames the whole debate: 78% say AI boosts efficiency, only 32% trust the output

✦ Why AI-generated design output is "average at best" and why the C-suite gives it a pass anyway

✦ How the old model worked (designers made the calls, tools just sped up execution) and what changed

✦ Why Zuckerberg called replacing people with AI a mistake, and what the "middle" everyone's missing looks like

✦ The return of the generalist designer, and why AI lowered the barrier to code, 3D, and tools that used to be gate-kept

✦ Why the "move your best people upstream" shift is what earns a team its future

✦ Democratization of tools vs. democratization of taste, why the floor rising doesn't lower the ceiling
