- 2023 Design Tools Survey – AI's impact
13 December 2023 | Issue #27 The 2023 Design Tools Survey from UX Tools has introduced a new focus on how AI is being integrated into design workflows. This is obviously a topic of growing interest and relevance for designers just starting to explore AI. The survey reveals that a significant 65% of respondents are already using AI in their work, indicating a rapid adoption of AI tools in the design process. This is higher than I would have expected. Interestingly, 13% of respondents haven't...Read more - So Many AI Tools. Which One Should I Use?

- It's only been a year since ChatGPT launched?!?
16 November 2023 | Issue #23 I watched an interesting video on Threads earlier this week from designer and YouTuber, Fuller Moehagen. In the video, he gives his thoughts on a recent Fortune article that talked about AI's impact on graphic design. Fuller says you don't have to be "team AI is bad" or "team AI is good." It's simply happening. At this point, AI is like gravity. You can try to thwart it for a little while, but at the end, gravity always wins. It just is. AI is here and it's only...Read more
- Master Mold is here: robots making robots
9 November 2023 | Issue #22 What happens when robots start making robots? We're about to find out. This past week, OpenAI introduced the ability to create GPTs with ChatGPT. You'll be able to create your own GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) just by asking ChatGPT a few questions. Now you can customize it with your own information and knowledge. You could have multiple GPTs for different purposes. To help amplify these, OpenAI is also launching the GPT Store. It's like an app store...Read more
