Is it UI/UX designers endgame after recent google drop

[Jason Voorhees]

@Swarthy Knight i thought I should make this thread since I feel I owe you a proper reply because you asked me so many times and I only had a half asses answer.

If you aren't aware Google woke from it's sleep last year and came back in full force and is on a rampage

Jewgle is planning something big. The sleeping giant is awake

Google's been on a tear this year aggressively transforming itself into an Al powerhouse with vertical integration. For many years they've enjoyed a complete and utter monopoly and were relative dormant in the AI space but now the sleeping giant is fully awake. What they have accomplished so...

looksmax.org

And they dropped another endgame yesterday. The highly anticipated Google stitch beta release and it's already having ripples across the entire design industry





And the results have been honestly been industry disruptive. As a dev design and UI/UX has always been my archilles heel.

You know the first website that I built 4 years ago that impressed everyone in my uni and was loved so much that it is still being used to this day by profs. Everyone praised the look and how easy and intuitive evrything was but it was literally just a straight-up copy of the of that Sony PS3 tile system if you are old enough to have owned a ps3. I didn't design shit I just recreated something that already existed

That's what I'm good. I'm elite at copying design. Show me a screenshot, a Figma file, or even a rough sketch and I can turn it into clean, functional code in no time. But ask me to create something original and unique from scratch? My brain goes completely blank.

The brutal truth is most coders are exactly like me. We know algorithms, data structures, frameworks but nobody ever taught us how to make something that actually feels good to use. CS degrees shove UX, product design, and visual hierarchy into like 3 modules and call it a day. This is also the reason why open source apps are technically perfect apps but still nobody wants to touch them because they look and feel like ass.


I've used stitch beta version today and honestly I'm very impressed. You literally type what you want in plain English and within seconds you have high-fidelity U. Web or mobile, multiple pages, theme switches, everything. It even exports to code and Figma in seconds

For someone like me who's never been a "design guy," this is god-tier and for me this is a game changer but should UI/UX designers be worried imo it depends. If you are pure execution designer and only made a living of cookie cutter layouts, clean up Figma files, and do pixel pushing for devs. Then yes you are done. What AI still cannot do is originality and deep human psychology

The best designers create signature systems. They don't do cookie cutter stuff. They make revolutionary UI able to become a product and selling point in and itself. Apple's motion language, Notion's block magic, or Nothing OS. These are examples of design master class that AI stilll can't do. So there's still a place for them but only for the best

TLDR- If you are top 10% UI/UX designer you are fine. If you are mid tier designer. AI has already replaced you.

Thanks for the thread bhai. What you said seems to match with what all the Reddit doomers have been saying about this field lately. Seems that the right time to have entered this field was back in the pandemic era

Luckily I got something better lined up for me professionally. But I still enjoy learning about some design stuff for my own knowledge + application

This is honestly really interesting

I don't really have interest in code I'm a nursing student because I prefer bio

however, when someone makes such an informative and well typed thread like this it makes it such a pleasing read

The only real value I can give to this thread is the feedback telling you your threads are peak

True. Also don't have to give an arm and leg for a degree if you are local and can pay in state tution or sometimes even free. Are you part of the blue and gold program

I have co worker who went to uc berkley and is now 6 years in debt and he won't shut up about it resents it every single day. Always talks about this shit. Like nigga who asked you to take out such a massive loan and he said he wanted brand name.

I do have scholarships and grants that lower my price

additionally, I joined this nursing program (I can't leak because it'll make me an easy dox target to others if I describe it) but basically it keeps my cost low, and I can finish my degree faster

I started at a community college that had ties with the uni for this excellent deal

But now with this I can bring all my cost down

Also, from my nursing friends that are in debt they have told me that the debt is worth it in cali even if its large

That's what I tell him too. 6 years nothing compared to the life long edge and opportunities he will get with that tag name and he ultimately landed a high paying tech job so it is a win but I know it probably still stings to have so much of your income taken away to pay to some loan shark while you see others your age are fucking around and spending money however they like.

Berkley was an overkill for nursing however it does come with the benefit of getting almost any job

That's funny how does one go from being in nursing and transitioning to tech

about two years ago I was taking a course with an Indian friend I made who I believe was studying to get into cyber security or app building

but I found it funny that he was taking science classes to transfer into a uni for his major even tho its coding

I also informed him that ai was taking all the jobs in those spaces but he said it was still worth it ( I have no idea why )

I'm wondering if you have insight on that?

Anyways that's my last question as I am very sleepy its 12 am

There's still a lot of scope and money to be made even with AI in picture but to oversimplify it. Same thing as design
in the most CS domains. Either be in the top 10-30% and/or niche domain wide skills or AI will replace you. But if are in that percentile AI is more of a blessing than a curse because AI makes you work easier
