Stop Shipping AI Nobody Asked For
The tech industry keeps shipping AI features nobody asked for. The real design challenge isn't building with AI — it's knowing when not to.
Your Users Don't Want More AI. Now What?
The design community is converging on an uncomfortable truth: most people don't want more AI features. They want the right ones, in the right places, delivered in ways they'll never notice.
Your AI Is Guessing. Your UI Should Admit It.
AI deals in probabilities, but most interfaces present its outputs as certainties. It's time designers learned to communicate confidence — not just content.
Your AI Isn't Sure — And That's the Point
AI tools deliver confident-sounding recommendations, but confidence isn't certainty. Probabilistic design — and tools like CSS's contrast-color() — show us how to build systems that embrace uncertainty instead of hiding it.
AI Influencers Don't Have Ethics. Do Their Designers?
Brands are using AI-generated influencers designed to pass as real people — and someone had to design them. If AI is creating more of the visual layer between brands and audiences, designers need to decide where they stand on honesty.
Your AI Tools Aren't Broken. Your Expectations Are.
AI tools don't give you definitive answers — they give weighted possibilities. The designers who grasp that distinction will outperform everyone chasing pixel-perfect AI outputs.
AI Doesn't Need Better Models. It Needs Better Design Systems.
AI prototyping tools are only as good as the design systems they pull from. The unsexy truth: better documentation beats better models every time.
Forget Prompt Engineering. Fix Your Design System.
Everyone's racing to master AI prompts, but the real bottleneck in AI-assisted design is your messy, undocumented design system. Clean tokens and clear documentation aren't just good practice — they're your most important AI investment.
Microsoft Buried Its AI Button. Good.
Microsoft just admitted its Copilot button was annoying enough to bury. The redesign reveals the hardest UX problem in AI right now — and most teams are getting it wrong.
Your AI Product's Biggest UX Problem Is a Spinning Circle
The loading spinner has served us well for decades — but in AI products, it's actively destroying user trust. There's a better way to design for wait states when the system is thinking.
