A sharp tool can still ruin the cut

About

AI can generate interfaces, flows, and even entire products in seconds.

It’s impressive. It’s fast. And it’s also a little dangerous.

When tools become extremely good at producing answers, they can quietly push us to skip the hardest, and most valuable part of design: understanding the problem.

In this talk, José Torre shares real examples from his work designing complex products at scale, and how the rise of powerful tools is changing the way designers think, collaborate, and make decisions.

We’ll look at moments where speed helped, and moments where it sent the work in the wrong direction.

Because the real risk of AI in design isn’t that it will replace designers.

It’s that it might convince us we already know all the answers.

Sometimes the sharpest tool in the room is exactly what ruins the cut.
