You’re thinking about using AI for design work. Maybe you already started. Someone told you it’s the future, and they’re probably right, but let me tell you what nobody mentions.

I spent six months in 2025 using AI tools daily. Made me faster. Also made me worse. By June, I couldn’t defend my own design decisions anymore. Wrote a book about it: Looks Good to Me: On AI Sycophancy, Context Loss, and Inverted Baselines (Apple Books). It’s free. This is what I’d tell you if we were having coffee.
