AI design has accidentally triggered the human renaissance here’s how it’s played out: phase 1 (2023-2025): >AI design meant one thing: regenerate and lose everything you liked > we called it magic, but it was a slot machine > internet filled with slop phase 2 (2026-2027): > specialized models learn to actually edit like a human > understand elements of design and color theory > restyle, reformat, apply changes across every page, and keep what works > the better AI gets at following direction, eventually all that will matter is who is giving the direction. phase 3 (2028+): > the pendulum swings hard in the opposite direction > outdoor experiences become the new luxury > technical skills like oil painting and marble sculpting become premium > we start valuing struggle and effort again
