Entry-level roles now require senior-level judgment as companies automate foundational tasks, leaving new designers with fewer chances to develop crucial decision-making skills through gradual experience. While AI accelerates output and capabilities, it cannot replace the slow, iterative process of building creative judgment from hands-on practice and proximity to experienced professionals.
