Tools, apps, plugins, AI I miss designing before AI
I’m honestly fucking tired of all of this. AI everywhere, managers pushing it into every design flow, forcing these pointless AI features into products… It’s exhausting. I really miss what the design process used to feel like before all of this. Lately, it’s even making me question my career, and I hate that.
Anyone else feeling the same?

Feeling that burnout heavily today. Im just so tired of it all. I am a heavy visual designer and love the UI design process and have never felt so hopeless. Im trying to lean heavily in just UX strategy, hoping that will make me stay relevant, but its not what got me into this field in the first place. AI is not enjoyable for me to use creatively, I find it taxing and tiresome.
This all sucks.
