Except it is. Plenty of places will say this is all good enough and not hire, or even lay off, the UI/UX person. I've seen this firsthand.

I have seen this as well, except the UI ends up all looking similar, because the harness prompt and training data doesn’t change much

The average becomes the same shade of gray. Familiarity breeds contempt. New types of design will emerge that are expensive to copy, because differentiation drives competition

In those cases you’ve seen firsthand, who is actually using Claude design (or similar tools) to create the good enough design?

Especially if you’re working on an established product with an existing design system. New features / layouts are really easy now.

These tools don’t solve big design problems, but they do resolve all the little design decisions often left up to devs at implementation time.

Yeah, agreed. And realistically they are correct. I’d argue that “good enough” is how most things are done.
