"After 2.5 years of insane hype, there’s no evidence that current AI is making the design process faster"

This is antidotally untrue. I work for a small startup. We don't have the money / aren't willing to pay for a full-time designer. So, let's just say, our UI design has always been pretty terrible. With AI, using claude, to generate design and HTML / CSS based on requirements, the design that has been generated has been heads and tails better than anything we ever came up with alone.

AI can definitely help bootstrap from Terrible -> Okay. But provides little/negative guidance on going from Okay -> Exceptional.
And we have Okay open source designs for a long time so in the and the gain is really marginal.
It doesn’t lead, but it brings up to speed.
