Abstract
Most designers using generative AI today cannot fully explain the decisions embedded in the work they are shipping. That should concern us. Generative AI entering design workflows is reshaping how designers think, what problems they can see and which capacities they are losing the habit of using. This is urgent – but not new. Design thinkers have wrestled with these questions for decades, and their frameworks offer guidance for what to protect and how.
