DESIGNERS ARE A RARE BREED

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

AI design tools like Claude are more likely to raise the overall quality of design work than replace professional designers, especially since designers are already rare and most companies never hire them. While AI can help non-designers create decent work, true design expertise still depends on taste, experience, and craftsmanship developed over years, meaning skilled designers can use these tools to increase their reach and impact rather than be displaced by them.
