I have been designing for banks for over 10 years. Now I build everything from scratch with Claude, Midjourney, and PHP. This is not theory. It is what I do every day.
I have seen AI-generated interfaces that look spectacular. Vibrant colors, modern layouts. And most do not pass a basic WCAG contrast test. AI optimizes for what looks good not for what works for everyone.
A research team analyzed 602 prompts across ChatGPT, Google, and Perplexity and measured which pages get cited and why. I compared their findings with what I've been building on this blog for 3 months. The data confirms almost everything. And reveals something I didn't expect.
I reviewed my portfolio a few weeks ago and realized I no longer knew how to present my work. Some projects were done by hand, others were half AI. Nobody has defined the rules and that is a problem.
SaaS companies with hundreds of self-promotional listicles lost up to 49% organic visibility in January 2026. Meanwhile, sites implementing real standards like llms.txt, JSON-LD, and Content Signals are not just surviving Google updates. They are benefiting from them.
Thirty minutes. A complete onboarding flow of four screens with transitions and real microcopy. What changed is not that I am faster but that the prototyping process transformed completely.
Typography is probably the hardest thing to explain to an AI. It can suggest combinations that technically work but technically working and communicating what you need are two completely different things.
I finished a visual concept presentation for a client. Images from Midjourney, copy from Claude, AI-validated flows. Before the meeting I had to decide: to say or not to say I used AI.
I always hated synthesizing research. Reading hours of transcriptions looking for patterns is exhausting. I discovered that Claude completely changes that equation without replacing human analysis.
Someone asked me if I would hire a junior designer today. The honest answer is not simple because AI eliminated the tasks where juniors were trained. The ladder broke and nobody is building a new one.
Cloudflare released a tool that measures how ready your site is for AI agents. My blog scored 50/100 without frameworks, without APIs, without OAuth. Here is what I implemented and what I ignored on purpose.
